Gaurena argentisparsa is a moth in the family Drepanidae.[1] It is found in Bhutan, Nepal, Sikkim in India and in Tibet, China.[2]
The wingspan is about 36 mm. The forewings are grey, irrorated (sprinkled) with black and with a black-edged white spot at the base below the median nervure and a white antemedial band edged by irregularly-waved black lines. There is a small black-edged white orbicular and large round reniform stigma, with a black-edged white band from it to the inner margin, its inner edge dentate. There is also a waved postmedial line with a diffused white band beyond it forking to the apex, as well as some submarginal white specks and an irregular patch at the anal angle and a marginal series of white lunules. The hindwings are fuscous, with traces of postmedial and submarginal lines towards the inner margin.[3]
