Ceranemota crumbi is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Benjamin in 1938.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from western Oregon and the Washington Cascade Range.[2] The habitat consists of coastal rainforests and mixed hardwood forests.

The length of the forewings is 14–17 mm. The forewings are brassy brown-grey, but lighter grey in the terminal area. The hindwings are dark brown-grey with faint darker markings. Adults are on wing from late October to late November in one generation per year.

The larvae probably feed on hardwood species.[3]
