Clerarcha poliochyta is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1902. It is found in Australia, [1] where it has been recorded from the Northern Territory and Queensland.
The wingspan is 20–28 mm. The forewings are pale grey, mixed with white and dark fuscous and with a short narrow vertical dark fuscous line from the fold in the disc at one-third. There is a dark fuscous discal dot surrounded by white at two-thirds and a subterminal series of dark fuscous streaks on the veins, as well as a series of minute terminal dark fuscous dots, obsolete towards the costa. The hindwings are grey.
The larvae feed on Melaleuca quinquenervia. [2]
