Netechma triangulum is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is endemic to Ecuador (Morona-Santiago Province).

The wingspan is 22 millimetres (0.87 in) for males and 25 millimetres (0.98 in) for females.[2] The ground colour of the forewings is cream suffused with pale brownish, but browner in the costal third. The hindwings are cream, tinged with brownish in the posterior half.

Etymology

The species name refers to the shape of the forewing markings and is derived from Latin triangulum (meaning triangle).[3]
