Voliba asphyctopa is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Turner in 1908. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are whitish with fuscous, distinct markings. There is an obscure basal patch and a narrow transverse fascia, succeeded by a subcostal dot. There is a larger discal dot and a fine dentate line from the costa, bent inwards to touch the discal dot, then curved in a right angle to the dorsum. There is a dot above the tornus close to the termen. The hindwings are whitish.[2]
