Agrionympha is a genus of small primitive metallic moths in the family Micropterigidae, and the only described micropterigid genus in Africa.
The genus is associated with Afrotemperate Forest, and is endemic to South Africa. The larvae fed on liverworts, and the adult moths appear to require sheltered, humid sites (they are often found amongst ferns).
