Crocanthes perigrapta is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia. The wingspan is 12–14 mm (0.47–0.55 in). 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.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Crocanthes perigrapta is recorded against all the insects logged in Lamington National Park (18 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
