Doxogenes pyrophanes is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1905. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are deep orange with the markings shining purplish-leaden-grey and a very small basal patch. There is a small spot in the disc at one-fifth and a very large patch occupying the entire apical two-thirds except towards the margins anteriorly, enclosing an irregularly triangular patch of ground colour in the disc about three-fifths. The hindwings are grey.[2]
