Pyroderces klimeschi is a moth in the family Cosmopterigidae. It is found in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Romania and Italy.[2]

The wingspan is 15–17 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is bright reddish brown, but this is hardly visible because of a chestnut brown wash. The hindwings are shining ashy grey.[3] Adults have been recorded in May and June.
