Sufetula macropalpia is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by George Hampson in 1899.^[1] It is found in Indonesia (Ambon Island, Banda Islands, Fergusson Island).^[2]

The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are fuscous with an obscure whitish subbasal patch and slight white marks representing the antemedial line. There is a lunulate (crescent-shaped) medial white patch in and below the cell, as well as two discocellular points. There are also traces of a postmedial line, as well as a submarginal waved line and a black marginal line interrupted by a white patch below the middle. The hindwings have a white base, a broad white antemedial band, a patch beyond the cell, four submarginal spots and a black marginal line interrupted by white patches between the middle and anal angle.^[3]
