Cotana neurina is a moth in the Eupterotidae family. It was described by Turner in 1922. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.

The wingspan is about 60 mm. Adults are sexually dimorphic. Females are brown with a dark-edged pale spot near the base of the forewings and a pale submarginal zig-zag line on both the fore- and hindwings. Males are also brown with a dark-edged pale spot near the base of the forewings, but also with a prominent dark line across the forewings. The hindwings are orange with dark markings.
