Birthana loxopis is a moth in the family Immidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1909. It is found in Assam, India.[1]
The wingspan is about 30 mm. The forewings are dark purplish fuscous with a narrow irregular orange basal fascia enclosing two small dark fuscous spots. From this fascia rise seven longitudinal yellow-whitish lines on the veins and the dorsum, reaching mostly to about the middle. There is an oblique transverse rather narrow ochreous-white blotch in the disc beyond the middle. The hindwings are dark fuscous with a slight orange median dash near the base and an orange subdorsal streak from near the base to beyond the middle.[2]
