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

The wingspan is 14-15.5 mm for males and 13.5-16.5 mm for females. The fore- and hindwings are lustrous white, the forewings with the costa yellowish white, becoming greyish brown at the base. There are two pairs of broad pale greyish buff fasciae, nearly straight, the most distal line expanded at the costa and a narrow greyish brown terminal fascia. The hindwings have a similar pattern corresponding with the fasciae of forewings.
