    Conchylodes is a genus of snout moths in the family Crambidae, comprising 21 recognized species. The genus was established by Guenée in 1854 and is placed in the tribe Udeini. The monotypic genus Nonazochis, described by Amsel in 1956, was synonymized with Conchylodes, with its type species Azochis graphialis transferred to Conchylodes as Conchylodes graphialis. The genus includes the zebra conchylodes moth (Conchylodes ovulalis), noted for its distinctive black-and-white striped pattern.
