Cryptophasa citrinopa is a moth in the Xyloryctidae family. It was described by Lower in 1915. It is found in Australia,[1] where it has been recorded from New South Wales and Queensland.
The wingspan is about 40 mm. The forewings are orange-yellow, faintly dusted with dull reddish on the basal half and with a moderately broad, silvery-white costal streak from the base to the middle, attenuated posteriorly, and edged beneath throughout by a fine fuscous line. There are two dark fuscous discal spots, transversely placed in the middle of the wing at three-fifths from the base. The hindwings are orange-yellow.[2]
