Deoclona xanthoselene is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Walsingham in 1911. It is found in Panama and Guyana. [1]

The wingspan is 18–20 mm. The forewings are brownish ochreous, thickly overlaid with minute steel-blue scales, giving an oily sheen to the wing-surface, especially along the margins. This steel-blue sheen becomes intensified gradually outwards, until it forms, in some lights, a clear steel-blue patch adjacent to the apex and termen, produced outward at the apex and tornus through the cilia and enclosing a semilunate terminal patch of bright yellow-ochreous, covering a small portion of the termen and including all the terminal cilia, except at the angles. A patch of bluish scaling at the end of the cell shows a tendency to divide into two spots, and is preceded by a similar patch at about one-third the length of the cell. The hindwings are shining, coppery yellowish. [2]
