Pseudopostega bidorsalis is a moth of the Opostegidae family. It was described by Donald R. Davis and Jonas R. Stonis, 2007.[1] It is known from northern Costa Rica.
The length of the forewings is 2.5–3 mm. Adults have been recorded from August to October and January.
The species name refers to two major morphological characters of this moth, which are derived from the Latin bi (meaning two, double) in reference to the bifurcate apex of the male gnathos, and dorsualis or dorsalis (meaning of the back) in reference to the prominent forewing dorsal spot.
