Cyclidia rectificata

Cyclidia rectificata is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Walker in 1862. It is found in India and Burma.

Adults are very pale fawn-colour, the wings with submarginal blackish spots. These are paler and smaller on the underside, where the four wings are nearly alike in colour and in markings. The forewings have a white discal spot, and with four oblique slightly undulating and denticulated white lines. The space about the lines is rather darker than the wings elsewhere. The hindwings are whitish, with incomplete fawn-coloured bands, which correspond to the spaces between the lines of the forewings.
