Cyana effracta is a moth of the family Erebidae. It is found in Nepal, north-eastern Himalaya, Taiwan, China, Burma, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo.

The wingspan is 22–30 mm. Adults have a slightly translucent appearance. There are three pale red fasciae on the forewings, evenly spaced across the central part of the wing. The hindwings are white but with diffuse grey subbasal and submarginal bands and a discal spot.
