Caenorycta thiobapta is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1930. It is found on New Guinea.[1]
The wingspan is about 34 mm. The forewings are white, the dorsal three-fifths suffused with pale brassy yellow and the costal edge dark fuscous towards the base. The costal area is suffused with pale brownish towards the base and there are two elongate blackish spots resting on the upper edge of the brassy-yellow area, with slight brownish marks beneath them, from above the first a light brownish streak runs to a brownish blotch, darker posteriorly, extending from the yellow area to the costa above and beyond the second. There is some brownish suffusion towards the apex and upper part of the termen and the plical stigma is blackish, followed by some elongate white suffusion. The hindwings are ochreous whitish.[2]
