Orocrambus corruptus is a moth in the family Crambidae.[1] It was described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1877.[2][3] It is endemic to New Zealand.[4] It is known from the lowland and intermontane region areas of eastern and central South Island.[5] The habitat consists of poorly drained areas up to 750 meters and old pastures.[5]

The wingspan is 15–20 mm. Adults have been recorded on wing from September to early December and again in February in some areas.[5]

The larvae have been reared on Funaria species, Poa annua, Bromus dactylis and Trifolium repens.[6]
