Iulota ithyxyla is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Western Australia.^[1]

The wingspan is 11–13 mm (0.43–0.51 in). The forewings are bright deep golden bronze with a broad white costal streak from the base almost to the apex, faintly purplish tinged, edged beneath with some dark fuscous scales, the anterior half including a light brassy-yellow streak. There is a suffused white dorsal streak from near the base to near the tornus. The hindwings are pale grey.^[2]
