Crocanthes acroxantha is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Lower in 1896. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are yellow, finely irrorated throughout with fuscous. There is a narrow fuscous streak along the costa from the base to the middle and a narrow fuscous elongate mark on the costa at three-fourths, from the anterior extremity of which proceeds a fuscous streak to two-thirds of the inner margin with a slight curve at the extremity. There is an irregular fuscous hind-marginal line, not reaching the extremities. The hindwings are fuscous.[2]
