Pedois haploceros is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1946. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.

The wingspan is 22–26 mm. The forewings are dull rosy, brighter on the costa and with fuscous markings. The first discal dot is found at one-third, the plical slightly beyond it and the second discal at three-fifths. There is a line of minute dots from the midcosta, subcostal to near the apex, there angled and curved to before the tornus. There is also a marginal series of dots on the termen and apical fourth of the costa. The hindwings are whitish.
