Syllepte azadesalis is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Schaus in 1927. It is found in the Philippines (Luzon).
The wingspan is about 28 mm. The wings are hair brown, the forewings with fuscous black lines, the antemedial line is slightly outbent from the subcostal, more heavily marked on the veins. There is a spot on discocellular and a thick postmedial line, vertical from the costa to below vein 6, bluntly outcurved and coarsely dentate to vein 2, retracted toward the cell and vertical to the inner margin, outwardly defined by faint paler shading. There is also a fine pale line at the base of the cilia, followed by a blackish shade, the tips glossy hair brown. The hindwings have a fuscous black postmedial line, outwardly well edged with pinkish buff, but less so at the projecting dentate line between veins 2 and 5. The terminal line and cilia are as on the forewings.
