Polygrammodes sanguiguttalis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was first described by George Hampson in 1913. It is found in Paraná, Brazil and Paraguay.[1]
The wingspan of the moth is about 42 mm. Its forewings are yellow, with a pink costal area towards beyond the middle. There is a subbasal (situated near or below a base or basal part) pink spot below the cell and an antemedial spot in the cell and another further from the base below the cell, as well as a round spot in the cell towards the extremity and two small discoidal spots. The inner margin is pink from the middle to the tornus and there is a postmedial series of pink spots, as well as a subterminal series of small spots. Its hindwings are pale yellow.[2]
