Sinibotys butleri is a snout moth in the subfamily Pyraustinae in the family Crambidae. It was described in the genus Crocidophora by Richard South in 1901 based on a single female imago collected in Ningbo in China's Zhejiang province.[2]: 480  The species is sexually dimorphic, with females exhibiting shorter, less pointed forewings than the males. The imagines and genitalia of the species are illustrated in Lee et al. (2018).[3]
