Crypsicharis triplaca is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Oswald Bertram Lower in 1923. It is found in Australia,[1] where it has been recorded from New South Wales and Queensland.
The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are white, with fuscous markings and with a moderate somewhat-ovoid spot above the dorsum on the fold, in the middle. There is an erect, moderately thick, fascia-like streak, from the dorsum before the tornus, reaching three-quarters across the wing, the upper half divided into two roundish spots. The hindwings are grey whitish.[2]
