Alynda striata is a moth in the Oecophoridae family. It was described by Clarke in 1978. It is found in Chile.[1]

The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are ochraceous buff with the extreme edge of the costa basally greyish fuscous. There is an irregular, outwardly oblique, cinnamon brown fascia from the basal fourth of the costa extending to the dorsum well before the tornus. Between veins 8 to 11 cinnamon are brown streaks edged with pinkish scales and there is a cinnamon brown blotch at the end of the cell, which narrows and extends to the apex. Along the termen is a cinnamon brown line and there are pink scales scattered over the wing surface. The hindwings are grey with some fuscous scaling around the margins and apically.[2]
