Crocanthes chordotona is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1916. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 13 mm (0.51 in). The forewings are deep ochreous yellow, with a few scattered purplish scales. The markings are dark purple fuscous with three nearly straight transverse lines, the first almost basal, the second at one-third, the third slightly beyond two-thirds, somewhat inwards oblique from the costa. The second discal stigma is moderate, preceding the third line. The hindwings are whitish yellowish with a grey dot on the end of the cell and a sinuate transverse grey line at two-thirds.[3]
