Agriophara hyalinota is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Lower in 1899. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from South Australia and Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is 36-40 mm. The forewings are pale ashy-grey with the extreme costal edge ochreous-whitish. There is a suffused fuscous spot at one-third of the inner margin and a large blackish dot at the end of the cell, as well as an irregular fuscous dot in the disc, at one-third from the base. There is also a row of rather ill-defined fuscous spots, from beneath the costa in the middle, curved around the apex, along the hindmargin to the anal angle. The hindwings are pale ochreous in males and greyish-ochreous in females, somewhat infuscated around the apex and hindmargin.[2]
