Cladophantis spilozeucta is a moth in the Xyloryctidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1927. It is found in South Africa.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 23 mm. The forewings are fuscous suffusedly mixed with white and with a short dark fuscous dash from the base above the middle and an oblique darker streak from the costa at one-fourth reaching half across the wing. There is an angulated extension of this, and two posterior oblique transverse strongly curved shades faintly indicated. The discal stigmata are black, connected by a fine black line and there is a marginal series of short dark fuscous marks around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are grey-whitish, the edge slightly marked grey around the apex and upper part of the termen.[3]
