Agriophara atratella is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Walker in 1866. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland[1] and New South Wales.[2]
The wingspan is 15-19 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous, somewhat purple-shining, with a few scattered whitish-grey scales. The disc is irregularly mixed with black, tending to form short streaks on the veins. There is a very minute, sometimes obsolete, whitish dot in the disc at two-thirds. There is a series of indistinct blackish spots beneath the costa from one-fourth to near the apex, then curved around near the hindmargin to the anal angle. The hindwings are light grey.[3]
