Syllepte ochrotozona is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Hampson in 1898. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]
The wingspan is about 36 mm. Adults are fuscous brown, the forewings with traces of a dentate black antemedial line angled inwards below the cell. There is a discocellular spot. There is an indistinct postmedial line, minutely dentate from the costa to vein 2, then retracted to the cell. The hindwings have a postmedial black line ending at the tornus, strongly defined on the outer side by ochreous, and dentate between veins 5 and 2. Both wings have a terminal series of ochreous and dark points.[2]
