Ditrigona pruinosa is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by Frederic Moore in 1888. It is found in Darjeeling, India. The Global Lepidoptera Names Index lists it as a synonym of Ditrigona quinaria.[1]
The wingspan is about 15.5 mm. The dorsal surface of the wings and the fringe are heavily speckled with greenish-yellow scales, particularly on the fasciae and wing margins. The ventral surface of all wings is more evenly speckled with dark lemon and the fasciae are absent.[2]
