Chrysendeton nigrescens is a moth in the family Crambidae.[1] It is found on North America, where it has been recorded from Alabama, Florida and Georgia. The habitat consists of pitcher plant bogs.

The length of the forewings is 3.7-4.1 mm for males and 4.3-5.2 mm for females. The forewings are fuscous. The central wing area borders a white dorsal margin, which is overlaid with fuscous scales. The apical quarter of the forewings has a brown wedge, bordered distally by a white wedge. This is followed by an orange wedge. There is a silvery mark on a fuscous field on the tornal area. The hindwings are white, overlaid with fuscous scales.[2] Adults have been recorded on wing from May to June and from August to September.[3]
