Wernya cyrtoma is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by D.Y. Xue and H.X. Han in 2012. It is found in China (Jiangxi, Fujian).

Adults are similar to Wernya sechuana, but can be distinguished by a more caesious forewing, which is almost without reddish brown scales. The forewing postmedial line is distinctly approaching to the wing base at the costa and is more protruding at the middle.

Etymology

The species name refers to the middle protrusion of the forewing postmedial line and is derived from Latin cyrtom- (meaning curved and swollen).
