Postplatyptilia pluvia is a moth of the Pterophoridae family. It is known from Ecuador.[1]

The wingspan is 18-21 mm. Adults are on wing in October.

Etymology

The name reflects the rainy conditions under which the species was collected. On those nights which were dry and moonlit the temperature dropped to freezing, and no collecting could be done.
