Agrotera glycyphanes is a species of moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1913.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded Queensland.[2]

The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are pale brown with a purple gloss. The basal third is pale yellow, reticulated with orange and bounded by an orange line. There is a large round pale yellow spot beneath the costa, edged and irrorated (sprinkled) with orange and a similar but smaller spot beneath this. There is also a pale-orange streak along the costa, as well as a fine fuscous line from the costa outwards, then bent to form a quadrangular projection, bent again to beneath a second spot.[3]
