Argyria lacteella, the Milky Urola Moth, is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Fabricius in 1794. It is found in North America, from Maryland south to Florida and west to Texas. In the south, the range extends through Costa Rica to Brazil. It is also found on Cuba, Puerto Rico and Bermuda.

The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are white with a small dark spot at the costa and at the inner margin, as well as a dark spot halfway between these two. The hindwings are uniform white. Adults are on wing from spring to fall.
