Homodoxus is a genus of moths belonging to the family Tineidae.[1] It contains only one species, Homodoxus aristula, which is found in Mexico and Guatemala.

The wingspan is 14–24 mm. The forewings are shining white, with a series of seven fuscous spots along the costa, all of which become rich metallic-peacock-green immediately below the margin. The hindwings are white, with a slight greyish ochreous tinge.[2]
