Cryptophasa platypedimela is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Oswald Bertram Lower in 1894. It is found in Australia ,[1] where it has been recorded from Queensland.
The wingspan is about 42 mm. The forewings are white, sparsely strigulated with faint transverse purplish striga (lines). There is a purplish-fuscous broad basal patch, its outer edge straight from one-sixth costa to one-sixth of the inner margin, leaving a patch of ground colour at the extreme base. A large purplish-ferruginous discal spot is found beyond the middle and there is a narrow irregularly dentate hindmarginal fascia which is broadest at the apex. The hindwings are pale yellow.[2]
