Paracraga necoda is a moth in the Dalceridae family. It was described by Druce in 1901.[1] It is found in Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela. The habitat consists of tropical moist and probably tropical premontane wet and moist forests.
The length of the forewings is 9–11 mm for males and 16 mm for females. Adults are similar to Paracraga argentea, but the ground colour of the wings is light brown or tan. The forewing ovate has the inner line deflected distally along the bottom of the cell. Adults are on wing in March, June and July.[2]
