Azygophleps is a genus of moths belonging to the family Cossidae.

==Description== Azygophleps are a genus of medium-sized moths, with long forewings, light-colored hindwings, and a spotted pattern. While similar to other Cossidae genera such as Sansara, Strigocossus, and Aethalopteryx, Azygophleps can be distinguished from these genera through the females' toothed antennae, long forewings that are rounded at the apex, unique genitalia in both sexes, including the absence of arms on the gnathos of the male of the species. Females, additionally, have a star-like symbol on their genitalia.
