Dicepolia marionalis is a species of moth of the Crambidae family. It is found in Madagascar.[1]

The size stated in the original description is: wingspan of 23mm; length of the forewings: 22mm. Obviously one of these figures must be incorrect.

Viette placed this moth in close relationship to: Autocharis carnosalis (Saalmüller, 1880).[2]
