Azygophleps confucianus is a moth in the Cossidae family. It is found in China (south-eastern Tibet, north-western Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Qinghai).[1]

The length of the forewings is 18–21 mm. There is a wide white band on the forewings, running from the base to the apex. At apex, there are black strokes against the background of this stripe. The hindwings are light, with a weak streaky pattern which is more developed on the wing periphery.[2]
