Comocritis albicapilla is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Sigeru Moriuti in 1974. It is found in Taiwan^[1] and Guangdong, China.

Adults are on wing in late May and early June in one generation per year.^[2]

The larvae are considered a pest, since they seriously damage the bark of litchi trees. The larvae conceal themselves under a double layer web made of silk and excrements.^[3]
