Callidrepana hirayamai is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was first described by Kikujiro Nagano in 1918.[1] It is found in Japan and the Chinese provinces of Fujian and Hunan.[2]
The length of the forewings is 13.5–18 mm for males and 16.5–19 mm for females. Adults are similar to Callidrepana ovata and Callidrepana patrana, but have a dotted rectangular marking at the end of the cell on the forewings. The coloration is similar to patrana, but in many specimens the ground colour is dull greyish yellow.[3]
