Syllepte rogationis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by George Hampson in 1918.[1] It is found in Mozambique.[2]

The forewings are yellowish white, the costal area to the postmedial line, the inner margin (except towards the base), and the terminal area red-brown. There is a diffused incurved red-brown subbasal line and the antemedial line is red-brown, oblique to the median nervure. There is a red-brown spot in the middle of the cell and a discoidal bar. The median nervure towards the extremity and a patch beyond the lower angle of the cell are red-brown, as is the postmedial line. This line is excurved between veins 5 and 2, then retracted to the lower angle of the cell and excurved to the inner margin. The inner edge of the red-brown terminal area is waved, excurved between veins 5 and 2, then expanding into a patch confluent with the postmedial line. The hindwings are yellowish-white with an oblique brown discoidal bar. The veins beyond the lower angle of the cell are streaked with brown and the postmedial line is rather diffused red-brown, excurved between veins 5 and 2, then retracted to below the angle of the cell and ending above the inner margin. The terminal area is red-brown, and its inner edge waved and excurved between veins 5 and 2.[3]
