Agrotera setipes is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Hampson in 1899.[1] It is found in Indonesia, where it has been recorded from the Natuna Islands.[2]

The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are pale purplish fuscous, the base marked with yellow and red. There is a pale subbasal band, defined by black towards the costa and irrorated with red. The hindwings have a yellow and red patch below the end of the cell. Both the fore- and hindwings have a fine black marginal line.[3]
