Flax sanchristobali is a moth of the family Erebidae first described by Michael Fibiger in 2011. It is found on the Solomon Islands (it was described from central Makira).
The wingspan is 9–9.5 mm. The forewings are beige, with brown subterminal and terminal areas. The base of the costa and costal quadrangular medial area are also brown. There is a dark-brown dot in the inner lower area and four dark-brown subapical costal dots. The crosslines are mostly light brown, although the subterminal line is brown and the terminal line is only indicated by dark-brown interveinal dots. The hindwings are light grey.
