Xylorycta homoleuca is a moth in the Xyloryctidae family. It was described by Lower in 1894. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.

The wingspan is about 31 mm. The forewings are shining white, faintly ochreous-tinged, without markings. The hindwings are pale-grey.

The larvae feed on Cupaniopsis and possibly Hakea species. They feed under a web in the bark.
