Habrosyne armata is a moth in the family Drepanidae first described by Frederic Moore in 1882.[1] It is found in the Khasi Hills of India.

The wingspan is about 66 mm. The forewings are ferruginous, with some pale marks at the base and a pinkish oblique line from the costa near the base to the inner margin beyond the middle. There is a postmedial pink patch on the costa and a double highly waved postmedial line, as well as a curved submarginal pink band, with a grey patch on its inner edge. There are also two whitish marginal lines. The hindwings are pale fuscous.[2]
