Glyphodes bivitralis is a moth of the Crambidae family. It is native to south-east Asia, including Hong Kong, India, Japan, Taiwan and Thailand. It is also found in Queensland and Hawaii. The wingspan is about 30 mm. The forewings are brown with white patches and the hindwings are white with a broad brown margin. The larvae feed on Erythrina speciosa and Ficus variolosa. They live in a shelter made by curling a leaf of the host plant with silk. Young larvae are green with black markings and four black spots. Older larvae turn brown, but retain the black markings.
