Lichenaula drosias is a moth in the Xyloryctidae family. It was described by Lower in 1899. It is found in Australia,[1] where it has been recorded from the Northern Territory, New South Wales and Queensland.
The wingspan is 20-22 mm. The forewings are white, very finely irrorated with black and grey scales, so as to appear ashy-grey-whitish. The extreme costal edge is whitish and there is a small blotch-like suffusion in the disc at two-fifths from the base, more or less connected by a fine black line from the base to the middle. The blotch is immediately followed by a well marked spot of groundcolour and there is an obscure row of blackish spots along the apical fifth of the costa. The hindwings are pale greyish-fuscous.[2]
