Glyphodes onychinalis is a moth of the Crambidae family. It is native to the Afro-Asian Region, including India, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, Australia (the Northern Territory and Queensland) and New Zealand, but has been recorded in California since 2000.[1]

The wingspan is about 15 mm.[2] Adults have a striking brown and white pattern.[3]

The larvae have been recorded feeding on jasmine, Nerium oleander, Gomphocarpus fruticosus and probably also feed on other plants.
