Palumbina macrodelta is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1918. It is found in Assam, India.[1][2]
The wingspan is 10–11 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous, faintly violet tinged and with an inwardly-oblique white fascia at two-fifths, rather broad on the costa and narrowed downwards, sometimes extended as a slender streak on the dorsum to near the base. There is an elongate-triangular white blotch in the disc beyond the middle, the upper edge almost reaching the costa througliout. A small cloudy pale fuscous or whitish spot is found near the apex. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[3]
