Xylorycta homoleuca is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Oswald Bertram Lower in 1894. It is found in Australia,[1] where it has been recorded from Queensland.

The wingspan is about 31 mm. The forewings are shining white, faintly ochreous-tinged, without markings. The hindwings are pale grey.

The larvae feed on Cupaniopsis and possibly Hakea species. They feed under a web in the bark.[2]
