Syllepte gastralis is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Walker in 1866. It is found in India (Darjeeling, Sikkim, Assam)[1] and Bhutan.[2]
The wingspan is about 36 mm. The forewings have the subbasal line broken up into two spots. There is a pale discocellular lunule and the medial line is angled outwards above the inner margin, so that it approaches or joins the oblique line and also gives off a fascia to join the antemedial line. There is a brown fascia connecting the submarginal with the marginal band above the middle. The submarginal band on the hindwings sends a spur inwards along vein 2 towards the medial line.[3]
