Nistra is a genus of snout moths in the family Crambidae. It is monotypic, being represented by the single species Nistra coelatalis, which was formerly included in the genus Agrotera.^[2]

Nistra coelatalis was described by Francis Walker in 1859.^[1] It is found in Sri Lanka, Sumatra, Borneo, Sumbawa and Sulawesi.^[3]

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.^[4]^: 488
