Xylorycta ceratospila is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1915. It is found in Australia, [1] where it has been recorded from Queensland.

The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are white with rather dark fuscous markings. There is a blotch occupying the basal half of the dorsum and reaching halfway across the wing, with a long wedge-shaped posterior projection reaching in the disc to three-fifths. A smaller semicircular blotch extends on the dorsum from near beyond this to the tornus, connected with it on the dorsum and there is a very oblique straight streak from the costa beyond the middle to the termen beneath the apex, as well as a browner streak along the apical fourth of the costa. The hindwings are grey. [2]
