Microcolona phalarota is a moth in the family Elachistidae.[1] It is found in India (Assam).[2]

The wingspan is 10–11 mm. The forewings are ochreous-brown with a narrow costal and median and broader dorsal streaks and the entire apical third of the wing dark grey, irrorated with blackish. There is an irregular ochreous-white blotch along the dorsum from the base to one-fourth of the wing, terminated by a large blackish tuft. There is a rounded ochreous-white blotch resting on the costa before the middle, containing an elongate black first discal stigma. There are leaden-metallic spots on the tornus and the middle of the termen, as well as a blackish-grey tuft in the disc between these. The hindwings are grey.[3]
