Piletocera chlorura is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1887. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are dark-fuscous with slightly darker lines and a whitish subcostal dot. The postmedian line is wavy, bent above the tornus to below the end of the cell. It is edged posteriorly by a few whitish dots, and on the costa by a short whitish streak. The hindwings are dark-fuscous, towards the base mixed with whitish.[2]
