Ctenarchis is a genus of moths of the Carposinidae family, containing only one species, Ctenarchis cramboides. It is endemic to New Zealand, where it is only known from Auckland and Northland. Most specimens have been collected in Titirangi.

The wingspan is 35–40 mm for males and about 50 mm for females. The forewings are creamy white, with small sparse costal and subterminal maculations (spots) in brown, and two short longitudinal streaks, one basally on the costa. The head, thorax and abdomen are creamy white and the labial palpi are dark brown laterally. The hindwings are grey-buff, although darker brown-grey in females.
