Nistra coelatalis is a snout moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1859.[1] It is found in Sri Lanka, Sumatra, Borneo, Sumbawa and Sulawesi.[2]

The wings are pale yellow with two brown lines. The forewings are partly brownish along the costa with a diffuse purplish tinge in the disc and metallic-purple at the base. The hindwings are metallic-purple at the tips and a metallic-purple patch on each side of the interior angle.[3]:488
