Ditrigona sericea is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Leech in 1898.[1] It is found in China, Burma and north-eastern India.

The wingspan is 12.5-17.5 mm for males and 15-21 mm for females. The forewings are white with the base of the costa pale brown. There are five brownish grey transverse fasciae: sub-basal, antemedial, broad postmedial and double subterminal. The last three are lunulate. The hindwings are as the forewings.[2]
