Ditrigona pruinosa is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Moore in 1888. It is found in India (Darjeeling). The Global Lepidoptera Names Index lists it as a synonym of Ditrigona quinaria.[1]
The wingspan is about 15.5 mm. The dorsal surface of the wings and the fringe are heavily speckled with greenish yellow scales, particularly on the fasciae and wing margins. The ventral surface of all wings is more evenly speckled with dark lemon and the fasciae are absent.[2]
