Loboptila leurodes is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Turner in 1919. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is 15-16 mm. The forewings are white with the markings and a few scattered scales dark-fuscous. There is a dot on the dorsum at one-sixths and the discal dots are minute, the first before the middle, the second at two-thirds, the plical obsolete. There is also an elongate mark at three-fourths, connected by irroration with the tornus and representing a posterior line. Two or three dots are found on the costa towards the apex. The hindwings are whitish-grey.[2]
