Xylorycta castanea is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Turner in 1902. It is found in Australia,[1] where it has been recorded from Victoria.
The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are whitish irrorated with reddish-brown and purple-brown scales forming very confused markings. The purple-brown scales predominate along the inner margin, the reddish-brown tend to form four suffused nearly equidistant transverse fasciae. Of these, the last, which is hindmarginal, is the best marked. The hindwings are grey.[2]
