Symmoca calidella is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Walsingham in 1905. It is found in Algeria.[1]
The wingspan is 11–12 mm. The forewings are dull white, minutely sprinkled and sparsely spotted with pale brownish fuscous. The ill-defined spots are formed by aggregation of the otherwise scattered pale fuscous scales and are, first a small streak at the base of the costa, reduplicated below and beyond, secondly a subcostal spot at one-third, then a spot at the end of the cell, preceded by one a little beyond the middle of the fold, with another, subcostal, a little before the apex. There are one or two marginal dots before the dirty white cilia which are also slightly dusted. The hindwings are brownish grey.[2]
