Paragnorima fuscescens is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by George Hampson in 1893.[1] It is found in India, Nepal, China (Sichuan, Yunnan, Tibet), Vietnam, Thailand and Myanmar.[2]
The wingspan is about 40 mm. The forewings are dull brown suffused with fuscous and with traces of numerous waved dark lines. There is a pale speck below the median nervure near the base and an indistinct dark spot on the discocellulars, as well as a pale patch at the apex. The hindwings are pale fuscous with an indistinct paler band just beyond the middle.[3]
