Homaloxestis turbinata is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1910. It is found in India (Assam).
The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are ochreous-yellow, with some scattered dark fuscous scales and a small dark fuscous spot on the base of the costa. The plical and first discal stigmata are represented by small nearly adjacent dark fuscous spots, the former slightly anterior. There is a triangular dark fuscous blotch on the costa about two-thirds, its apex produced and reaching three-fourths across the wing. There is also a cloudy dark fuscous streak along the upper three-fourths of the termen. The hindwings are pale ochreous-yellowish with a dark grey streak along the termen, on the lower half more broadly suffused with lighter grey, and connected with an oblique dark grey linear mark on the transverse vein.
