Drepana rufofasciata is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Hampson in 1893.[1] It is found in India (Sikkim) and China (Tibet).[2]

The wingspan is 43 mm. The forewings are pale brown, with a broad median rufous band occupying half of the wing and bearing two white spots on the costa, from which indistinct pale waved lines proceed to the inner margin. There is a grey-centered dark spot at the lower angle of the cell. There is a submarginal series of black specks. The hindwings are pale brown, with traces of two antemedial pale lines, a black speck at the end of the cell and three postmedial waved lines.[3]
