Zauclophora pelodes is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1900. It is found in Australia,[1] where it has been recorded from New South Wales and Queensland.
The wingspan is about 23 mm. The forewings are ochreous-brown, with ill-defined ochreous-whitish markings. There is an ochreous-whitish suffusion in the disc and an outwardly curved line from the costa at two-thirds to the anal angle, as well as two ochreous-whitish spots at and before the apex, separated by a fuscous spot. The hindmargin and anal angle are irrorated by fuscous scales. The hindwings are fuscous, towards the base suffused with ochreous.[2]
