Leucoptera selenocycla is a moth in the family Lyonetiidae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1930. It is found in India.

The wingspan is about 4 mm. The forewings are shining white with a fine grey oblique strigula from the middle of the costa, running into a light yellow round blotch in the disc beyond the middle. There is an extremely short grey costal strigula at two-thirds and a black apical dot, preceded by a round light yellow spot. The hindwings are white.[1]
