Ulopeza idyalis is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Walker in 1859. It is found in Sri Lanka,[1] India, as well as on Borneo and Sulawesi.[2]

The forewings have three large costal yellowish white iridescent semihyaline spots, the middle one much larger than the other two. The third is subdivided and forms a very incomplete band by means of two hindward dots. The costa and veins are mostly pale luteous. The hindwings are broadly pale yellow along the costa.[3]
