Syllepte nasonalis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by George Hampson in 1898. [1] It is endemic to South Africa. [2]

The wingspan is about 32 millimetres (1.3 in). The forewings are yellowish brown with a dark-edged hyaline (glass-like) spot in the cell, conjoined to one below. There is a quadrate spot in the end of the cell and a dark postmedial line running out to an angle on vein 5, then retracted to below the angle of the cell, with a series of hyaline spots on its outer edge. The outer area is fuscous brown. The hindwings are fuscous brown with a dark antemedial line, angled on vein 5 and with an irregular hyaline band beyond it. Both wings have a dark marginal line. [3]
