Syllepte aechmisalis is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Walker in 1859. It is found in Mexico (Vera Cruz, Guerrero, Yucatán) and Guatemala.[1]

The fore- and hindwings are pale yellowish-white, the former crossed from the costal to the inner margin by four dark brown lines, which are broken into spots. The outer margin, from the apex to the anal angle, is shaded with dark brown. The hindwings are crossed by two rows of broken brown lines. The apex is slightly edged with brown and the marginal line is black.[2]
