Amphitorna perexcisa is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by Warren in 1923.[1] It is found in Malaysia and on Borneo, Bali, Java and Sumatra.[2]
Adults are similar to Amphitorna excisa, but the hooking of the hindwing margin and forewing postmedial is less extreme, the hooking of the postmedial is more quadrate in the next species and adults are slightly paler and browner. The facies is more purplish on the upperside and reddish (and not ochreous yellow on the underside).[3]
