Syllepte ageneta is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Turner in 1908. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are ochreous-fuscous with fuscous, obscure lines. There is a faint linear discal dot before the middle. The hindwings are fuscous, with an ochreous tinge. There is a postmedian fuscous line produced towards the termen in the mid-third, forming an obtuse process like that of forewings.[2]
