Crocanthes glycina is a species of moth of the family Lecithoceridae. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania.[1][2]

The wingspan is 15–17 mm (0.59–0.67 in). The forewings are pale clear yellow with bronzy-fuscous markings, with purplish reflections. There is a costal streak from the base to the middle, attenuated posteriorly and a moderate postmedian fascia parallel to the termen, the anterior edge irregular and finely blackish-margined, strongly or only suffusedly connected on the costa with a moderate terminal fascia, sometimes almost connected on the tornus also. The hindwings are grey, darker posteriorly and with a darker transverse discal mark.[3]
