Wernya solena is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by Swinhoe in 1894.[1] It is found in Assam, India.
The wingspan is about 37 mm.[2] 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.[3]
