Pycnarmon macrotis is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1897. It is found in Indonesia (Talaut Islands).

The wingspan is about 26 mm. The forewings white, but ochreous-tinged towards the base and on the costal streak. There are small black basal and subbasal dots on the costa, as well as a small black discal dot, a small transverse oval black discal spot in the middle and a small black costal dot. The second line is fuscous, indistinct and blackish on costa. It is broken and interrupted in the disc and followed by a pale yellowish shade. There is a large black dot towards the termen below the middle and a small blackish apical dot. The hindwings are white with a dark fuscous discal dot. The second line is as in the forewings, but marked with a dark fuscous dot on the dorsum. There is also a subterminal dot.
