Rutilograptis cornesi is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in Nigeria.[2]

The length of the forewings is about 6 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is whitish cream, the costa more yellowish spotted with ochreous brown, and so suffused in the distal third. There is a cream blotch densely scaled with brown from the middle of the termen and another similar blotch marked with brown anteriorly extending from the tornus. There is grey suffusion in the whole dorsal part of the wing terminating in its middle area. There is an orange pattern between the largest costal spot and the tornal blotch, accompanied by two streaks and a group of shorter margins in the basal half of the wing. The hindwings are yellowish cream, mixed with brown in the anal area.[3]
