Agrioceros neogena is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Alexey Diakonoff in 1966.[1] It is found on the Selayar Islands.[2]
The wingspan is 28–29 mm. Adults are similar to Agrioceros hypomelas, but the base of the costal edge of the forewings has a longer black line and the basal spots are inequal, the four discal spots are larger and the posterior spots are very inequal. The hindwings of the males have a greyish-yellow costal brush and the scales are denser but shorter. The hindwings are pale yellow, with the dorsum and apex suffused with deeper golden yellow.[3]
