Strepsigonia diluta is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It is found in the north-eastern Himalaya, China, Taiwan, Java, Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo and Seram.[1]
The wingspan is 27–28 mm (1.06–1.10 in).[2] Adults are pale ochreous fawn with simply falcate (sickle-shaped) forewings in both sexes.[3]
The larvae feed on the leaves of Engelhardia roxburgiana. Mature larvae curl a leaf and fix it with silk to pupate inside.[4]
