Soganaclia tsaratananae is a moth of the Arctiidae family. It is found in North Madagascar. It seems to be confined to the high altitudes of the Massif du Tsaratanana.

The wingspan of the male adults is about 20 mm. This species looks similar to Soganaclia roedereri but is a little bigger in size.[1]
