Pedois haploceros is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1946.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[2]

The wingspan is 22–26 mm. The forewings are dull rosy, brighter on the costa and with fuscous markings. The first discal dot is found at one-third, the plical slightly beyond it and the second discal at three-fifths. There is a line of minute dots from the midcosta, subcostal to near the apex, there angled and curved to before the tornus. There is also a marginal series of dots on the termen and apical fourth of the costa. The hindwings are whitish.[3]
