Homadaula lasiochroa is a moth in the Galacticidae family. It was described by Lower in 1899.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales.

The wingspan is 10-12 mm. The forewings are snow-white, strongly spotted throughout with black, except for the basal third of the costa. There is a well-marked elongate blackish blotch, just before the middle and nearer to the inner margin than to the costa. There is also a blackish spot in the middle of the disc at five-sixths from the base. The costa and inner margin are spotted with black, except for the basal third of the costa. The hindwings are shining greyish-fuscous, becoming whitish towards the base. The apex is fuscous.[2]
