Agriophara diminuta is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Rosenstock in 1885. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from South Australia and Tasmania.[1]

The wingspan is 16-18 mm. The forewings are fuscous-grey, irrorated with whitish and with a short blackish dash beneath the costa near the base, and another on the submedian fold at one-third. There are three transverse series of obscure marks formed by a blackish irroration. The first straight, from one-fourth of the costa to three-fourths of the inner margin, the second from the middle of the costa very obliquely outwards to three-fourths of the disc, then sharply angulated and continued to the middle of the inner margin, crossing the first on the fold. The third is found from three-fifths of the costa very obliquely outwards to near the apex, then curved around near the hindmargin to the anal angle. The hindwings are grey, somewhat darker towards the apex.[2]
