Homaloxestis endocoma is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1910. It is found in southern India.[1]
The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are rather dark glossy fuscous, on the undersurface with the anterior half clothed with light ochreous-yellowish hairs, limited by a large transverse patch of very long curled hairs beyond the middle, anteriorly light yellowish, posteriorly fuscous, above which is a longitudinal brush of dense dark fuscous hairs from beneath the costa. The hindwings are fuscous, towards the costa posteriorly with modified scales tinged with whitish-ochreous, on the anterior half of the costa with a fringe of very long dense ochreous-yellow hairs projecting beneath the forewings. On the undersurface is a broad median fascia of ochreous-yellow suffusion clothed with appressed hairs except towards the lower extremity.[2]
