Argodrepana marilo is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Wilkinson in 1970.[1] It is found in New Guinea.

The wingspan is 16.8-18.5 mm. The forewing costa is dark buff and there are grey subbasal antemedial, postmedial and double subterminal fasciae, as well as a faint ring in the cell between the antemedial and postmedial fasciae. The hindwings are as the forewings, but lack the subbasal fascia.[2]
