Oxybia is a genus of snout moths. It was described by Rebel in 1901, and contains the species Oxybia transversella. It is found in southern Europe[2] and on the Canary Islands.
Adults have grey or brownish-grey forewings with a narrow vertical yellowish brown line with a darker spot above the dorsum on the outside. The hindwings are greyish-brown. Specimens from Fuerteventura are different. They have a uniform pale yellowish forewing almost without any markings, except for a dark spot which is sometimes present above the middle of the dorsum. The hindwings are purely white.[3]
The larvae feed on Psoralea bituminosa.
