Crocanthes perigrapta is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia.[1][2]
The wingspan is 12-14 mm. The forewings are ochreous-yellow with a blackish costal streak from the base to the middle and sometimes a dark fuscous subdorsal dot at one-fourth. There is a blackish inwards-curved line from three-fourths of the costa to four-fifths of the dorsum, somewhat produced posteriorly on the costa. There is also a black line along the termen. The hindwings are grey, more or less suffused with pale yellowish, the apical fourth forming a more or less defined pale yellowish band, the terminal edge dark grey or blackish, sometimes with a dark grey discal spot.[3]
