Comocritis constellata is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]

The wingspan is about 16 mm (0.63 in). The forewings are whitish-ochreous with a basal group of five rather large blackish dots: one median near the base, one subdorsal near the base, one beneath the costa at one-fourth, one below this beneath the fold, and one in the disc slightly beyond these. The hindwings are pale ochreous-grey.[2]
