Tonica barrowi is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Bingham in 1907.[1] It is found in Burma.[2]
The wingspan is about 78 mm. The forewings are white with a shining silky gloss and black markings, consisting of a large square spot near the base of the costa, a larger rectangular patch just beyond, a border along the apical half of the costal margin. The apical third of the hindwings is shaded with shining bronzy-brown, darkening outwards and changing to metallic purple on the costal margin and apex.[3]
