Teldenia argeta is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by Wilkinson in 1967.[1] It is found in the Philippines and possibly also on Buru.
The length of the forewings is 12 mm for males and 15 mm for females. The dorsal and ventral surfaces of all wings are white without fasciae, but males have a buff costa and are strongly irrorated with brown scales between the costal margin and cell on the ventral surface.[2]
