Nannoarctia takanoi, described by Jinhaku Sonan in 1934, is an endemic species of moth in the family Erebidae from Taiwan. It is probably extinct now; no specimens have been collected since World War II. The species was formerly known as Pericallia integra Matsumura, 1931, but specimens from Taiwan are not conspecific to those from the Philippines , where N. integra (Walker, 1855) occur.
The forewings are blackish with narrow oblique light fascia abutting on the apex and with a subapical spot mostly narrower than its length. The hindwings are yellow with discal and submarginal, sometimes confluent, black spots.
