Apiletria tripleura is a moth in the Autostichidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1914. It is found in the western Himalayas.[1]

The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are grey suffusedly mixed with light ochreous-yellowish, and towards the apex mixed with white. There is a narrow white costal streak from the base to near the apex and a white streak in the disc from one-fourth to the termen, attenuated to a point anteriorly, becoming bifurcate posteriorly. There is also a white streak along the submedian fold from the base to the toruus. The hindwings are grey.[2]
