Syllepte trachelota is a moth in the family Crambidae described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1913. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland. [1]

The wingspan is 30–38 mm. The forewings are bright ferruginous mixed with ochreous yellow and with dark-fuscous markings. There is a sub-basal dorsal dot, a waved transverse line and a round subcostal dot, as well as a transverse median subcostal mark in the disc. A line starts at the costa. It is irregularly dentate, displaced outwards in the middle, then bent inwards to beneath the discal mark, and again bent to the mid-dorsum. There is a broad fuscous terminal band touching the posterior line. There is a series of dark-fuscous terminal dots on the veins. The hindwings are fuscous, suffused with ferruginous. There is an oblique dark fuscous mark towards the costa and a postmedian line which is displaced outwards in the middle and edged posteriorly with ochreous. The terminal dots and cilia are as on the forewings. [2]
