Crocanthes characotis is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1916. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from the Northern Territory and Queensland. [1] [2]

The wingspan is about 11 mm (0.43 in). The forewings are deep ochreous yellow with dark fuscous markings. There is a dot beneath the base of the costa, and a mark on the base of the dorsum. Two transverse slightly incurved lines are found at about one-third and two-thirds. The first discal stigma is small, following the first line, the second is larger, preceding the second line. The hindwings are grey with the costal area (interrupted by a bar at two-thirds), an irregular apical patch, and an irregular terminal line pale yellowish. There is also a cloudy darker grey spot on the end of the cell. [3]
