Hibrildes crawshayi is a moth in the family Eupterotidae. It was described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1896.[1] It is found in the Democratic Republic of the 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]
