Agriophara axesta is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1890. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from South Australia. [1]

The wingspan is 19–21 mm. The forewings are fuscous-grey, irrorated with white and with a short black attenuated very oblique streak from the base of the costa, margined beneath with white towards the base. There are three transverse series of very obscure marks formed by a blackish irroration, the first nearly straight, from one-fourth of the costa to the sub-median fold before the middle, the second from the middle of the costa very obliquely outwards to the disc at three-fourths, where it is curved abruptly around and terminates in the disc at two-thirds, with some irregular marks beneath it. The third is found from two-thirds of the costa very obliquely outwards, near the apex bent around and continued near the hindmargin to the anal angle. The hindwings are fuscous-grey, lighter towards the base. [2]
