Myriostephes haplodes is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1887. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland. [1]

The wingspan is about 23 mm. The forewings are greenish grey, irrorated (sprinkled) with white. There is a narrow white costal streak, margined beneath with fuscous reddish. The remaining lines are very obscure and white. There is a small fuscous dot beneath the costa at one-third and a transverse linear fuscous discal spot, as well as a white hindmarginal streak, terminated by a fuscous-reddish hindmarginal line. The hindwings have the same colour as the forewings. [2]
