Linoclostis musicodes is a moth in the Xyloryctidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1910. It is found on Borneo.

The wingspan is 11-13 mm. The forewings are white with a fuscous line from two-thirds of the costa to the tornus, right-angled in the middle, dark fuscous towards the extremities. The space between this and the termen is more or less tinged with fuscous and there is a dark fuscous line around the posterior sixth of the costa and termen to near the tornus. The hindwings are whitish-grey.
