Homaloxestis xanthocharis is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1929. It is found in India (the Andamans).[1]

The wingspan is about 14 mm for males and 16 mm for females. The forewings are uniform light violet-fuscous. The hindwings are light grey, in males with a very large expansible ochreous-yellowish hairpencil from the base of the dorsum beneath, lying alongside the abdomen and reaching its apex.[2]
