Comocritis albicapilla is a moth in the Xyloryctidae family. It was described by Moriuti in 1974. It is found in Taiwan[1] and China (Guangdong).
Adults are on wing in late May and early June in one generation per year.[2]
The larvae are considered a pest, since they seriously damage the bark of litchi trees. The larvae conceal themselves under a double layer web made of silk and excrements.[3]
