Isopsestis cuprina is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Moore in 1881.[1] It is found in China (Tibet), India and Nepal.[2]
The forewings are pale metallic brown, slightly cupreous anteriorly and the area below the cell greenish. There are two or three black transverse antemedian lines angled at the median vein and some basal spots, a black discocellular recurved mark and a spot within the cell. There are five or six transverse discal indistinct sinuous lines with black and white dentate marks on the veins, as well as a submarginal pale lunular line and a marginal black line. The hindwings are pale cupreous-white, with a pale cupreous-brown marginal band.[3]
