Uzucha borealis 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 47 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous brown with a dark reddish-fuscous spot on the base of the costa and a conspicuous reddish-fuscous spot in the disc at two-thirds. The hindwings are pale ochreous, with the basal third fuscous and the division suffused.
The larvae feed on Eucalyptus platyphylla from within a silken gallery covered by a conspicuous brown web in the bark. [2]
