Homaloxestis xanthocharis is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1929. It is found in the Andaman Islands of India. [1]
The wingspan is about 14 mm for males and 16 mm for females. The forewings are uniform light violet-fuscous. The hindwings are light grey, in males with a very large expansible ochreous-yellowish hair-pencil from the base of the dorsum beneath, lying alongside the abdomen and reaching its apex. [2]
The Lecithocerinae are a subfamily of small moths in the family Lecithoceridae. They are found worldwide, but most species occur in South Asia. The subfamily is characterized by the male genitalia with a bridge-like structure connecting the tegumen and the valva, and the uncus almost always is vestigial with two lobes at the dorsal base, only exceptionally united into a broad plate, but never as a thorn or spine.
