Tylostega chrysanthes is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1894. It is found on Borneo.[1]

The wingspan is 17–19 mm. The forewings are orange, irregularly blotched with fuscous. The lines are rather irregular and dark fuscous, forming blackish spots on the costa. There is also a blackish discal mark and an almost hindmarginal row of blackish spots. The hindwings are as the forewings, but the first line is absent.[2]
