Bathydoxa euxesta is a moth in the Xyloryctidae family,[1] and the only species in the genus Bathydoxa. It was described by Turner in 1935 and is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland,[2] New South Wales and Victoria.
The wingspan is 24–30 mm. The forewings are grey with the costal edge grey-whitish and with a blackish subcostal streak from the base of the costa to one-fourth. There is a broader subdorsal streak from the base to three-fourths and the discal stigmata are represented by a fine longitudinal streak, sometimes interrupted, edged beneath with whitish. The hindwings are grey, paler towards the base.[3]
