Ditrigona mytylata is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Guenée in 1868.[1] It is found in northern India and Burma.

The wingspan is 14.5 mm for males and 15.5-19.5 mm for females. The fore- and hindwings are white and lustrous, the forewings with the costa yellowish brown at the base, the remainder yellowish white. The fasciae are pale yellowish brown, consisting of sub-basal, antemedial, postmedial and lunulate subterminal fasciae. The hindwings are similar to the forewings, but without the sub-basal fascia.[2]
