Agriopodes is a doubtfully valid genus of noctuid moths of the family (biology) Acronictinae. The genus was erected by George Hampson in 1908.Pitkin & Jenkins (2014)
Species Species remaining here include: Agriopodes jucundella Dyar, 1922 Agriopodes teratophora (Herrich-Schäffer, 1854) = A.inscripta (Walker, 1858)
Most species formerly included in this genus have been moved to Acronicta, for example A. fallax (Herrich-Schäffer, 1854) = A.geminata (J. B. Smith, 1903).
Agriopodes tybo (Barnes, 1904) is now in the presently-monotypic Chloronycta.Schmidt, B. C., et al. (2014).

Agriopodes corticosus, described as Bryophila corticosa by Guenee in 1852 is a nomen dubium.
