Pilocrocis calamistis is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Hampson in 1899. It is found in Mexico (Veracruz) and Costa Rica.

The wingspan is about 32 mm. Adults are ochreous yellow, the forewings with a slight fuscous streak below the basal half of the costa and a curved antemedial line, as well as a speck in the cell and discoidal lunule. The hindwings have a discoidal spot and postmedial as on the forewings, but there is an oblique fuscous shade. Both the fore- and hindwings have a fuscous terminal line.
