Apilocrocis brumalis is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Barnes and McDunnough in 1914.[1] It is found in Mexico[2] and the southern United States, where it has been recorded from southern Texas.[3]

The wingspan is about 25 mm for males and 32 mm for females. The costal margin of the forewings is pale yellowish and the base is light brown, containing a white dot near the inner margin. This is bordered outwardly by a pale yellowish band. The remainder of the wing is olive-green. The hindwings are white in the basal third with a small green costal dot, followed by an olive-green band. The remainder of the wing is olive-green. Adults are on wing from March to May and again from July to September.[4]
