Auzata chinensis is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by John Henry Leech in 1898.[1] It is found in the Chinese provinces of Hunan, Sichuan, Zhejiang and Shaanxi.[2]
The wingspan is about 38 mm for males 48 mm for females. Adults are similar to Auzata superba, but all the wings have a double antemedial pale fuscous line and an interrupted submarginal band of the same colour. The hindwings have a patch as on the forewings. The fringes of all wings are pale fuscous, interrupted with white at the ends of the nervules.[3]
