Glaphyria stellaspina is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Solis and Adamski in 1998. It is found in northeastern Costa Rica.

The length of the forewings is 5.7–6.1 mm (0.22–0.24 in). The antemedial and subterminal fasciae of the forewings are brownish-orange, except for the costa, which is yellow. The basal fascia is white, with two yellow costal streaks. The hindwing have white scales basally and pale yellowish-orange scales distally up to the wing margin.

Etymology

The species name is derived from the spines with a stellate-shaped base on the corpus bursae and is derived from Latin stella (meaning star) and spina (meaning spine).
