Kertomesis corymbitis is a moth in the Autostichidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1926. It is found in India.

The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are light brownish-ochreous, very faintly pinkish-tinged, sprinkled dark fuscous. There is a fuscous spot on the base of the costa. The markings are blackish. There are three small spots transversely placed near the base in the disc. The first discal stigma forms a moderately large spot, the plical a smaller spot beneath it, the second discal absorbed in a direct transverse bar extending to the dorsum, with a short prominence on each side above the fold. There is an undefined spot of dark grey suffusion towards the costa beyond this. There are four irregular approximated dots in a curved series near before the upper part of the termen. The hindwings are grey.
