Hibrildes crawshayi is a moth in the Eupterotidae family. It was described by Butler in 1896.^[1] It is found in the Democratic Republic of Congo (Katanga), Malawi, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.^[2]

The wingspan is 61 mm. Adults are semitransparent rosy tawny, with slender black veins. The forewings have a short black bar across the end of the cell and the external border is dark grey, dentate-sinuate internally, broad at the apex and narrow at the external angle. The hindwings have a black discocellular dash, the external border rather broadly blackish, enclosing six spots of the ground-colour.^[3]
