Didymana bidens is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by John Henry Leech in 1890.[1] It is found in the Chinese provinces of Hubei, Sichuan, Yunnan, Shaanxi and Fujian and in north-eastern Myanmar.[2]

The wingspan is about 30 mm. The forewings are purplish black, the outer margin bordered with tawny, interrupted by a line and cloud of the ground colour and preceded by a broad whitish band. The hindwings are similar to the forewings, but paler and without the submarginal band.[3]
