Apilocrocis pimalis, the Pima apilocrocis moth, is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Barnes and Benjamin in 1926. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Arizona and Texas.

The wingspan is 20-30 mm. The forewings are shiny semitransparent whitish in the antemedial area and beyond the postmedial line. The median area is pale grey and the basal area is dark brown. There is a pale yellowish strip along the costa which contains a dark mark at the postmedial line and there is a blackish patch in the median area near the costa. The hindwings have a colour and pattern similar to the forewings. Adults are on wing from June to August.
