Ditrigona chionea is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Wilkinson in 1968. It is found in China.

The wingspan is 16-20.5 mm for males and 17-21 mm for females. The fore- and hindwings are lustrous white, the forewings with the costa buff, but more brownish at the base. The fasciae are pale brown with faint sub-basal and antemedial fasciae, a weakly lunulate postmedial fascia and a dentate subterminal fascia. The hindwings are as the forewings, but with only one fascia proximal to the postmedial fascia.
