Dreata is a monotypic moth genus in the family Eupterotidae described by Francis Walker in 1855.[1] Its single species, Dreata hades, described by the same author in the same year, is found in Bangladesh,[2] Myanmar[3] and India.
The wingspan is about 72 mm. The forewings are mouse brown, with the medial area pale. There are five indistinct waved lines, a nearly straight and erect prominent postmedial line and a waved submarginal line. The hindwings are pale at the base, without the waved lines. The postmedial line is less prominent and there is a submarginal waved line.[4]
Dreata yokoana Bethune-Baker, 1927 was once in this genus, but it is now named Jana yokoana.
