Tridrepana bicuspidata is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Song, Xue and Han in 2011.[1] It is found in China (Hainan).
The length of the forewings is 14–16 mm. The fore- and hindwings are yellow, the forewings with a brown crescent patch below the apex, and indistinct antemedial line and a brown, wavy postmedial line which does not reach the costa. It is bounded exteriorly by an indistinct pale brown line. The submarginal line is composed of a series of blackish spots. The mid-cell, cell and posterodistal spots are white, surrounded with reddish brown. The hindwings have a curved, indistinct postmedial line, accompanied by a series of dots posteriorly. The submarginal line is black and regularly punctuate and the discal and posterodistal spots are white, ringed with brown.
Etymology
The species name refers to the bifurcate uncus and is derived from Latin bicuspidatus (meaning double pointed).[2]
