Archernis argocephala is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Oswald Bertram Lower in 1903.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded Queensland.
The wingspan is about 29 mm. The forewings are pale-brown with a fuscous median discal mark and a fine wavy fuscous line from the costa towards the tornus. The hindwings are as the forewings, but the discal mark is straight. Adults have been recorded on wing in March.[2]
