Agriophara cinderella is a moth that belongs to the family Depressariidae. Described by Newman in 1856, it was found in Australia—native specifically in Victoria[1] and New South Wales.[2]

The moth has a wingspan of about 35 mm. Its forewings are ashy-grey, irrigated with black. The disc in its wings comes with several short black streaks. There is a curved series of lunate blackish spots near the hind margin and a hind-marginal row of black dots. Its hind wings are paler grey.[3]
