The Brown leaffolder (Ochyrotica concursa) is a moth of the Pterophoridae family. It is known from Sri Lanka.
In the past it was also recorded from the Ryukyu Islands (Tokuno-shima, Okinawa), as well as in Minami-Daito-jima, Taiwan, China, the Philippines, India, the Moluccas and New Guinea, but research suggest these records are not related to this species.
The length of the forewings is 6-7 mm.
The larvae feed on Ipomoea batatas.
