Chlamydastis inscitum is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by August Busck in 1911. It is found in French Guiana.^[1]

The wingspan is 19–22 mm. The forewings are whitish fuscous, the ground color being white but strongly and unevenly overlaid with dark fuscous except for a large oblong pure white costal spot reaching from the basal fourth to the apical fourth. At the end of the cell is a dimly indicated darker fuscous spot from which a faint dark fuscous irregular line runs to the dorsal edge near the base. The extreme tip of the wing is dark bronzy brown. The hindwings are dark fuscous.^[2]
