Hyodectis is a genus of moth in the family Gelechiidae. [1] It contains only one species, Hyodectis crenoides, which is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales and Victoria. [2]
The wingspan is 14–17 mm (0.55–0.67 in). The forewings are rather light brown, sometimes golden-tinged and with a rather broad straight shining white streak above the middle from the base to the apex, suffusedly edged beneath with dark fuscous, especially posteriorly. There is sometimes a white dot at three-fourths touching its lower edge and is also sometimes an undefined fine whitish almost terminal line. The hindwings are whitish-fuscous or pale fuscous. [3]
