Archernis leucocosma is een vlinder uit de familie van de grasmotten (Crambidae).[1] De wetenschappelijke naam van de soort is voor het eerst geldig gepubliceerd in 1908 door de Australische arts en amateur-entomoloog Alfred Jefferis Turner (1861–1947).[2] Het type werd aangetroffen in Kuranda in het noorden van Queensland in Australië. Het epitheton leucocosma is volgens Turner afgeleid van leukokosmos, "met witte versiering".
