Holaxyra ancylosticha is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1919.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[2]

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are fuscous with a broad median blackish streak from the base, soon bent to above the fold and narrowing to a point at two-fifths. The first discal touches or is found just beyond the apex of the streak, the second at three-fifths, with the blackish plical before the first discal. There is a whitish costal suffusion containing some ferruginous scales. The hindwings are dark-grey.[3]
