Crocanthes celema is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Durrant in 1915. It is found in New Guinea. The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are purplish ferruginous, with a conspicuous canary-yellow triangular patch on the middle of the costa, reaching to beyond the cubitus.
