Xylorycta tapeina is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1898. It is found in Australia,[1] where it has been recorded from Queensland.
The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are fuscous irrorated with white scales and with a broad white streak along the whole of the costa, narrowing to a point at the base and apex. There is an obscure whitish spot above the middle of the inner margin and a dark spot in the disc at two-thirds. The hindwings are pale grey.[2]
