Pilostibes embroneta is a moth in the Xyloryctidae family. It was described by Turner in 1902. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.
The wingspan is 30-46 mm. The forewings are pale brown, with a very few scattered dark fuscous scales and a broad streak from the base of the costa to beyond the middle of the disc, toothed above at one-third and beneath at two-thirds, white, edged with dark fuscous, the apical third narrow and wholly dark fuscous. The hindwings are whitish, slightly brownish-tinged.
The larvae feed on Callistemon species. They bore in the stem of their host plant.
