Synemon laeta is a moth in the Castniidae family. It is found along the east coast of Queensland, Australia.

Adults have a brown pattern on their forewings and scarlet hindwings with a brown marginal and submarginal arc. Males show territorial behaviour, chasing other intruding males away.

The larvae feed on Lomandra longifolia.[2] They feed inside the culm of the food plant at ground level.
