Pycnarmon levinia is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Caspar Stoll in 1781. It is found in Suriname, in the Brazilian states of Rio de Janeiro[1] and Espírito Santo and in Grenada.

The wingspan is about 28 mm. Adults are bright orange, the forewings with a black spot at the base of the costa. There is a slightly curved antemedial fuscous line which is black towards the costa, as well as a discocellular lunule. The postmedial line is sinuous. The hindwings have a discocellular spot, a slightly sinuous postmedial line.[2]
