Hyalostola is a monotypic moth genus belonging to the subfamily Drepaninae first described by George Hampson in 1914.[1] Its only species, Hyalostola phoenicochyta, described by the same author in the same year, is found on Borneo.[2]
The wingspan is about 26 mm. The forewings are semi-hyaline white, irrorated (sprinkled) with rufous scales and tinged with purplish crimson to beyond the middle. There are traces of rufous postmedial line, oblique to vein 4 and then incurved. There are some rufous marks before the termen. The hindwings are semi-hyaline white, tinged with purplish crimson, and irrorated with some rufous scales. There are some diffused rufous marks on the termen.[3]
