Comocritis thespias is a moth in the Xyloryctidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1909. It is found in Sri Lanka. The wingspan is about 34 mm. The forewings are pale greyish ochreous with a white basal fascia, leaving a small spot of ground colour on the base of the costa and with a small white dorsal spot close beyond the fascia. There is a thick white streak along the costa from the fascia to three-fifths. An oblong yellow-ochreous patch extends through the lower part of the disc almost from the basal fascia, terminated by a crescentic white mark in the disc at two-thirds, and a quadrate white tornal spot connected with it, the ground colour above and below this patch suffused with black irroration. There is an irregular white streak from four-fifths of the costa to the middle of
