Aetholix litanalis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1859. It is found on Borneo.[1]

The wingspan is about 11 mm. The wings are dark fawn, dusted with paler. There is a paler line near the base and a pale lunule at the end of the cell, as well as pale darker-edged spot midway between them. The subterminal line is pale and there are three pale, dark-edged lunular marks on the costa. The hindwings have faint traces of a central and submarginal paler line.[2]
