Ethmia crocosoma is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It is found in India and Nepal. Records for Taiwan are probably based on misidentifications.

The wingspan is 24–35 mm. The forewings are whitish-grey, with black spots. The hindwings are darker brownish-grey, but lighter on the fringe of the apex.[1]
