Crocanthes cleomorpha is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1931. It is found in New Guinea.[1]
The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are orange with purple-blackish markings. There is a small basal patch, very narrow on the dorsum, including two orange costal dots. There is also an irregular antemedian fascia, enclosing a small triangular orange discal spot and a broad irregular-edged terminal fascia, widest on the costa, enclosing a small orange costal spot. The hindwings are orange, with the base narrowly blackish and with a narrow fasciate blackish antemedian transverse bar not reaching either margin, somewhat interrupted below the middle. There is an irregular rather broad blackish terminal fascia narrowed to a point below the middle.[2]
