Xyroptila marmarias is a moth of the family Pterophoridae. It is found on the Atherton Tableland in Queensland, Australia, and it is also known from New Guinea.[1]
The bright colours of the adult suggest it is a day active species.
Its biology is unknown, but the larvae of various related species feed on flowers.
