Wernya solena is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Swinhoe in 1894. It is found in India (Assam).

The wingspan is about 37 mm. The forewings are silvery grey, the medial area suffused with rufous and with two double dark lines on it which almost meet below the cell. There is a nearly straight erect postmedial line and an ochreous-white costal patch before the apex, with an indistinct dentate submarginal line arising from it. There is also a dark marginal line. The hindwings are fuscous, the basal area and a medial band paler.
