Dolichobela is a genus of moths of the Crambidae family. It contains only one species, Dolichobela celidograpta, which is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.
The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are grey-whitish with a fuscous line on the costa from near the base up to the middle. There is an oblique postmedian fuscous blotch and a fine crenulate grey subterminal line. The space between this and the blotch is white. The terminal line is suffused grey. The hindwings are grey.[2]
The larvae have been recorded feeding on the fruit of Capparis mitchellii.[3]
