Compsotorna eccrita is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1917. It is found in Australia,[1] where it has been recorded from Queensland.
The wingspan is about 32 mm. The forewings are fuscous with a large ill-defined basal subcostal whitish suffusion and a large ochreous-whitish tornal suffusion extending nearly to the apex, and connected with the basal suffusion above the fold. Some blackish scales tend to form a streak on the basal half of the fold and there is a large irregularly oval discal spot beyond the middle, fuscous outlined with blackish. Several fine short blackish streaks are found between this and the apex. The hindwings are ochreous-whitish.[2]
