Pilocrocis dichocrosialis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by George Hampson in 1912.[1] It is found in Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Katanga), Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe.[2]
The wingspan is about 26 mm. The wings are orange-yellow, the forewings with paired dorsal black spots on the second segment and dorsal bands on the segments beyond it, as well as some sublateral points. The forewings also have a black spot at the base of the costa and some diffused black on the inner margin near the base, as well as an antemedial spot below the costa and a curved line from the median nervure to the inner margin and a black spot in the middle of the cell and the discoidal bar. The postmedial line is indistinct with a broad band of fuscous suffusion beyond it except at the costa. The hindwings have a slightly sinuous medial black line with a broad band of fuscous suffusion beyond it.[3]
