Agriophara leucanthes is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Turner in 1898. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is 14-16 mm. The forewings are whitish with pale fuscous markings. The base of the costa is fuscous and there is an obscure fascia near the base, as well as a secondly outwardly curved fascia from the costa at one-fifth to the middle of the inner margin. There is a darker spot on the costa at two-fifths and a suffused interrupted fascia from the costa at three-fifths to the anal angle. A series of dots tends to form a third fascia from the costa at four-fifths parallel to the hindmargin to the anal angle. The hindwings are whitish-grey.[2]
