Myriostephes haplodes is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1887. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.
The wingspan is about 23 mm. The forewings are greenish-grey, irrorated with white. There is a narrow white costal streak, margined beneath with fuscous-reddish. The remaining lines are very obscure and white. There is a small fuscous dot beneath the costa at one-third and a transverse linear fuscous discal spot, as well as a white hindmarginal streak, terminated by a fuscous-reddish hindmarginal line. The hindwings have the same colour as the forewings.
