Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox Cryptophasa sarcinota is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1890. It is found in Australia,[1] where it has been recorded from Queensland.
The wingspan is about 35–53 mm. (about 1.15-1.75 ft) The forewings are pale greyish ochreous, brownish tinged and with a large black dot in the disc at one-third, a second on the fold beneath the middle, and two others transversely obliquely placed, and sometimes connected by a fine line in the disc at three-fifths, the lower anterior. There is a row of black dots along the hindmargin and apical half of the costa. The hindwings are fuscous, tinged with blackish towards the basal third, the base with ochreous-whitish hairs.
The larvae feed on Eucalyptus species. They bore in the stem of their host plant.[2]
