Stemorrhages oceanitis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1886. It is found on Vanuatu, Fiji,[1] and Sri Lanka.[2]

The wingspan is 44–40 mm. The forewings are pale green, irregularly suffusedly irrorated (sprinkled) with white and with a narrow ferruginous costal streak, beneath margined by a suffused white streak. There is a row of dark grey dots on the hind margin and sometimes a grey hind-marginal line. The hindwings have the same colour and hind-marginal dots as the forewings.[3]
