Nacoleia glageropa is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Turner in 1908. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland[1] and New South Wales.[2]

The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are fuscous mixed with white, forming ill-defined blotches near the base on the subcostal area and at the tornus. The lines are fuscous. The hindwings are fuscous, but whitish towards the base. The fuscous lines are lost in the ground colour, but are edged posteriorly with white.[3]
