Polygrammodes nervosa is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Warren in 1889. It is found in Brazil and Ecuador.[1]

The fore- and hindwings are semi-hyaline white, the costal margin of the forewings shaded with grey. Females are very similar to males, but rather larger and much greyer in colour.[2]
