Sorhagenia cracens is a moth in the family Cosmopterigidae. It was described by Ronald W. Hodges in 1978. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Idaho.[1][2]

Sorhagenia daedala and Sorhagenia nimbosus are closely related species.[3] S. cracens can be differentiated from S. daedala because the eighth sternum in S. cracens is longer than it is wide, and from S. nimbosa (which also has a long eighth sternum) because S. cracens has a medial lobe of the vinculum that is longer than it is wide.[3]
