Paralogistis litholeuca is a moth of the Scythrididae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1921. It is found in Mozambique and South Africa (Gauteng).

The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are grey- whitish finely irrorated with blackish. The markings are formed of coarser black irroration: some undefined suffusion towards the base of the costa, a dot beneath the fold at an irregular raised transverse mark from the dorsum before the middle of the wing reaching somewhat beyond the fold, and a round submedian dot above the tornus. The hindwings are grey.
