Cryptophasa blosyra 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 43–44 mm. The forewings are grey-whitish with a few fuscous and blackish scales. These form a dark streak along the fold not reaching the tornus, and a median streak from one-fifth to four-fifths. There is an ochreous grey annular mark at three-fifths interrupting the median streak. There is an ochreous grey submarginal line feebly barred with blackish. The hindwings are pale fuscous, whitish on the costa.[2]
