Leuronoma zymotis is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1909. It is found in South Africa.[1][2]

The wingspan is usually around 15 mm. The forewings are fuscous irregularly mixed with ferruginous brownish and sprinkled with dark fuscous and with a blackish mark beneath the base of the costa, and one on the fold towards the base, each followed by longitudinal white-ochreous suffusion, the latter streak extending to the second discal. There are suffused white-ochreous oblique costal and dorsal opposite marks about three-fourths, not meeting. The hindwings are grey.[3]
