Doxogenes philodoxa is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1908. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are orange, posteriorly mixed with dark purplish-fuscous suffusion and with a narrow dark blue-leaden-metallic streak from the base of the costa to the disc at one-third, then bent downwards and irregularly thickened to the dorsum before the tornus. There is a dark purplish-fuscous streak along the dorsum from near the base, containing a leaden-metallic streak, running into this posteriorly and there is also a triangular suffused dark purplish-fuscous patch in the disc beyond two-thirds, confluent beneath with these streaks. The termen is suffused with deep bronzy purple. The hindwings are blackish fuscous.[2]
