Agriophara plagiosema is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1898. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is 16–18 mm. The forewings are whitish, irrorated with grey and with a few blackish scales. The markings are blackish and there is a very short oblique streak from the base of the costa and a conspicuous oblique fascia from the costa at one-third to the middle of the inner margin, often partly obsolete towards either margin. A short oblique streak is found from the middle of the costa, sometimes continued by a series of dots to a blackish suffusion above the anal angle, which is, however, frequently obsolete. There is a series of dots parallel to the hindmargin, frequently partly obsolete. The hindwings are grey.[2]
