Acraga leberna is a moth in the Dalceridae family. It was described by Druce in 1890.[1] It is found in Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Surinam, French Guiana, Ecuador, northern Brazil (Amazon Basin), Peru and Bolivia. The habitat consists of tropical wet, tropical moist and tropical premontane wet forests.
The length of the forewings is 11-15 mm for males and 16-19 mm for females. The forewings are pale yellow with a wide submarginal reddish-brown band. The inner margin is dark basally and there is a small discal spot. The outer margin is darkened, especially where the submarginal band is close to or connected with the outer margin. The hindwings are pale yellow with a reddish-brown anal angle. Adults are on wing year-round.[2]
