Nacoleia megaspilalis is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Hampson in 1912. It is found in India (Andhra Pradesh) and Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are white with dark fuscous, somewhat suffused markings. The hindwings are as the forewings, but the basal patch is very small and there is no subbasal line, median fascia, subterminal line and there are also no costal rings.[2]
