Wernya cyrtoma is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by Da-Yong Xue and Hong-Xiang Han in 2012.[1][failed verification] It is found in the Chinese provinces of Jiangxi and Fujian.[2]
Adults are similar to Wernya sechuana, but can be distinguished by a more caesious forewing, which is almost without reddish-brown scales. The forewing postmedial line is distinctly approaching to the wing base at the costa and is more protruding at the middle.
Etymology[edit]
The species name refers to the middle protrusion of the forewing postmedial line and is derived from Latin cyrtom- (meaning curved and swollen).[3]
