Syllepte microstictalis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by George Hampson in 1918.[1] It is found in Cameroon.[2]
The wingspan is about 28 mm. The forewings are dark brown with a cupreous gloss and a faint curved dark antemedial line with a slight whitish spot before it in the cell. There is a small quadrate white spot in the end of the cell defined on each side by black-brown. There is also a slight whitish postmedial bar from below the costa to the discal fold, then a very faint dark line, retracted to below the angle of the cell, then excurved. The hindwings are dark brown with a cupreous gloss and a fine pale line at the base of the cilia followed by a dark line.[3]
