Leucoblepsis neoma is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Swinhoe in 1905.[1] It is found in Singapore and on Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo.[2]
Adults are white, suffused with pale chestnut-brown irrorations in parts. There are two nearly straight brown lines from the abdominal margin of the hindwings. The first from one-third, the other from the middle, running parallel across both wings and suddenly converge on the middle of vein 5 of the forewings, and run from there in a single line to the costa near the apex. Between these lines on the forewings is a large hyaline spot and the rest of the wing is lightly suffused. There is a fairly broad pale pinkish band on the outer margin, composed of large pale pinkish spots joined together. The marginal line is brown. The hindwings have a nearly white inner area, the outer area from the outer line to the margin with dark suffusion and a dentated white line through the middle of the disc. The marginal line is white.[3]
