Pedois rhaphidias is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1917. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]

The forewings are grey whitish, with numerous streaks parallel to the veins, brown mixed with dark fuscous. There is a longitudinal streak in the posterior and lower part of the cell, as well as a darker streak along the fold. On the termen, the ends of the streaks are dilated and nearly confluent. The hindwings are very pale grey.[2]
