Hydrillodes aviculalis is a species of litter moth of the family Erebidae. This species is known only from La Réunion[1] where it is found in altitudes above 500m in primary forests.
This species has the same sexual dimorphism as Hydrillodes uliginosalis: the females are brown/dark brown, the males are very dark coloured, almost black. The clearer form had been described in 1932 by de Joannis as Bleptinodes borbonica that had been synonymized only in 2005 by C. Guillermet.
