Azygophleps is a genus of moths belonging to the family Cossidae.
Azygophleps is distinguished from similar genera such as Sansara Yakovlev, 2004, Strigocossus Houlbert, 1916 and Aethalopteryx Schoorl, 1990 by its females’ apically bipectinate antennae, its long forewings rounded at the apex, the absence of arms in its males’ gnathos, its thick aedeagus, and a short, wide ductus and corpus with a small star-like signum in its females.
Medium sized moths. Male antennae cup-shaped, those of female bipectinate (apically with gradually reducing pectin); forewing long, with rounded apex, with dense reticular pattern formed by transverse lines and spots; hindwing lightly coloured and uniform.
Species are primarily found throughout Africa with a few species distributed in the Arabian peninsula and Asia.
