Homadaula poliodes is a moth in the Galacticidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1907. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Western Australia.

The wingspan is 11-12 mm. The forewings are grey, densely and suffusedly irrorated with white and with some scattered rather dark fuscous dots. The markings are rather dark fuscous, consisting of a triangular spot on the dorsum near the base, a moderately broad fascia at one-third, attenuated or obsolete on the costa, as well as an irregular blotch on the dorsum before the tornus and an irregular spot on the costa at three-fourths, and another on the termen above the tornus. The hindwings are rather dark grey, but lighter towards base.
