Cryptophasa hormocrossa is a moth in the Xyloryctidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1925. It is found in New Guinea.

The wingspan is 40-44 mm. The forewings are brown, irregularly sprinkled dark fuscous and with an undefined quadrate patch of dark fuscous suffusion resting on the costa before the middle and sometimes a suffused dark fuscous streak along the dorsum from near the base to three-fourths. There is a small dark fuscous spot near the base in the middle, and two connected by a line on the angles of the cell. A band of whitish suffusion is found before the termen from the dorsum reaching three-fourths across the wing, above this a blotch of dark fuscous suffusion towards the costa. The hindwings are fuscous.
