Lebedodes ianrobertsoni is a moth in the family Cossidae. It is found in Tanzania,[1] where it has been recorded from the central subregion of the Eastern Arc Mountains probably extending further east into the drier coastal forests.
The length of the forewings is about 9 mm. The forewings are pale orange-yellow with buckthorn brown transverse lines and striae. The hindwings are ivory yellow, but ecru-olive with a narrow line along the termen.
Etymology
The species is named for Ian Robertson.[2]
