Xylorycta tignaria is a moth in the Xyloryctidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1921. It is found in Australia,[1] where it has been recorded from Queensland.
The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish with dark brown markings. There is a moderate basal fascia, extended as a wedge-shaped streak along the costa nearly to the middle and a moderate fascia from the costa beyond the middle to the middle of the dorsum, with a branch from its middle running to the tornus, and continued as a narrower terminal fascia to the apex. The hindwings are pale ochreous-yellowish, the posterior half suffused grey.[2]
