Crocanthes celema is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by John Hartley Durrant in 1915. It is found on New Guinea.[1]

The wingspan is about 14 mm (0.55 in). The forewings are purplish ferruginous, with a conspicuous canary-yellow triangular patch on the middle of the costa, reaching to beyond the cubitus. The yellow colouring is continued narrowly along the costa and termen to the tornus, expanding into a second costal triangle before the apex. The hindwings are shining, ochraceous.[2]
