Choristostigma particolor is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Dyar in 1914. It is found in Mexico (Zacualpan).^[1]

The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are straw yellow with reddish brown shadings at the base. The reniform is fused in a purple shade that occupies most of the area beyond the outer line and the terminal area is yellow. The outer line is red-brown above, where the purple shading is incomplete. The hindwings are light yellow with a large purple cloud at the apex and smaller clouds at the tornus and following it submarginally. There is a minute discal dot, followed by a streak across the inner area. Adults have been recorded on wing in July.^[2]
