Agrioceros subnota is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Alexey Diakonoff in 1966.[1] It is found on Java.[2]

The wingspan is 27–28 mm. The forewings are deep orange yellow with dull black markings. There is a streak along the base of the costa and the basal dots are inequal. The discal spot is large and the posterior spot well defined. The pre-tornal spot is large and round and there is a large black dot in the apex, a streak along upper half of termen and a minute line halfway between these markings in males, connected with the terminal streak in females. The hindwings are pale golden yellow, becoming deeper yellow towards the apex. In females, the middle of the wing is suffused with pale fuscous.[3]
