Desmia paucimaculalis is a moth in the family Crambidae described by George Hampson in 1898.[1] It is found in Amazonas in Brazil[2] and in Honduras.

The wingspan is about 24 mm. The wings are black, the forewings with a small subtriangular hyaline (glass-like) spot in the cell and an elongate wedge-shaped bar beyond the cell. There is an oblique antemedial hyaline band on the hindwings.[3]
