Cyclidia pitmani is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by Frederic Moore in 1886.[1] It is found in Myanmar[2] and Yunnan, China.[3]

The wingspan is 66–74 mm. The wings are white, the forewings with some fuscous marks on the basal half of the costa and a subbasal narrow line. There is a broad medial fuscous band and the discocellulars and veins crossing it are white. There is a postmedial curved line and submarginal series of spots, beyond which is a series of smaller black spots and a fuscous series on the margin. The hindwings are white, with a postmedial arid submarginal series of fuscous spots, as well as a series of black spots before the margin.[4]
