Azochis rufidiscalis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by George Hampson in 1904. It is found in the Bahamas, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, Cuba[1] and the south-eastern United States, where it has been recorded from Florida.[2]

The wingspan is about 22–26 mm. The forewings are white with a blackish and rufous basal patch in and beyond the end of the cell. There is a fuscous and rufous postmedial line and a triangular black mark on the termen. The hindwings are semihyaline white with a patch of black scales near the tornus.[3] Adults have been recorded on wing from January to March, in May, July and September.
