Crocanthes acroxantha is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Lower in 1896. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.

The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are yellow, finely irrorated throughout with fuscous. There is a narrow fuscous streak along the costa from the base to the middle and a narrow fuscous elongate mark on the costa at three-fourths, from the anterior extremity of which proceeds a fuscous streak to two-thirds of the inner margin with a slight curve at the extremity. There is an irregular fuscous hind-marginal line, not reaching the extremities. The hindwings are fuscous.
