Copidoris dimorpha is a moth in the Xyloryctidae family, and the only species in the genus Copidoris. It was described by Meyrick in 1907 and is found in Australia,[1] where it has been recorded from New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia.
The wingspan is 17–20 mm. The forewings are yellow-ochreous, along the costa, dorsum and termen, or sometimes wholly suffused with rather dark fuscous irrorated with white and usually a with clear white median longitudinal streak from the base to the apex, but sometimes this is suffusedly mixed with fuscous. The hindwings are grey-whitish, becoming light grey posteriorly.[2]
