Lichenaula melanoleuca

Lichenaula melanoleuca is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Turner in 1898. It is found in Australia,^[1] where it has been recorded from New South Wales and Queensland.

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are blackish-fuscous with white markings. The base is narrowly white and there is an outwardly oblique, irregularly outlined fascia from the costa at one-sixth to the inner-margin at one-fourth, as well as a large white spot on the costa at two-fifths not reaching the fold, another on the costa at two-thirds and a similar spot in the disc at two-thirds confluent with the preceding. A smaller spot is found below the centre of the disc and there is a fifth spot at the anal angle, and two minute dots at and before the apex of the costa. The hindwings are grey.^[2]
