Habrophyes is a monotypic moth genus of the family Noctuidae. Its only species, Habrophyes xuthosoma, is found in Australia where it is found in the Northern Territory and Queensland.[1] Both the genus and species were first described by Alfred Jefferis Turner, the genus in 1920 and the species 11 years earlier in 1909.[2][3][4]

The wingspan is about 20 mm. Adults have white forewings with two black bands. The hindwings are grey.[1]
