Lethata amazona is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in Amazonas, Brazil.[1]

The wingspan is about 38 mm. The forewings are rosy tan with the costa narrowly deep ochreous and the dorsal edge brown. There is a white suffusion from the middle of the base, blending outward and upward with the ground color. A spot is found at the end of the cell, composed of a ring of white enclosing a brown transverse line. There is also a spot in the fold at the basal one-third, composed of a ring of white enclosing a brown spot. A median spot at the basal one-third is white with faint brown scaling in the center. The entire wing is sprinkled with occasional brown scales. The hindwings are yellow ochreous, deepening toward the apex.[2]
