Lichenaula terminata is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1921. It is found in New Guinea.[1]

The wingspan is about 26 mm. The forewings are shining white with the extreme costal edge light yellow-ochreous, at the base greyish, a very fine interrupted orange line from the costa at two-thirds to beneath two small orange spots on the costa near the apex. There is also a short fine black line on the apical edge, forming a small black spot at the upper extremity. There are three black dots on the lower part of the termen, the lowest enlarged into a small spot. The hindwings are white, with the dorsal hairs slightly ochreous-tinged and the apical edge is pale greyish.[2]
