Xylorycta amblygona is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1900. It is found in Australia, [1] where it has been recorded from New South Wales and Queensland.
The wingspan is about 28 mm. The forewings are white rather densely irrorated with fuscous and with a triangular fuscous suffusion on the inner margin before the middle. There is a short longitudinal suffused mark in the disc before the middle and a very distinct outwardly oblique line from the costa at two-thirds, angulated in the disc, and continued parallel to the hindmargin to the inner margin at three-fifths. There is also an indistinct suffusion on the middle of the hind margin. The hindwings are pale-grey, whitish toward the base. [2]
