Apilocrocis albicupralis is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Hampson in 1918. It is found in Peru.[1]

The wingspan is about 30 mm. The forewings are red brown with a cupreous gloss. There is a small white mark at the base and subbasal white spots on the costa and in the cell. There is a white patch on the basal part of the inner margin. There is a terminal series of minute triangular white spots. The hindwings are white, the veins slightly striated with brown and there is some reddish brown suffusion beyond the lower angle of the cell and on the inner margin before the almost straight reddish brown postmedial line. The terminal area is pale reddish brown with a cupreous gloss.[2]
