Cilix danieli is a moth in the family Drepanidae first described by Watson in 1968.[1] It is found in Shanxi, China.[2]

The length of the forewings is 11–12 mm for males and about 11.5 mm for females. Adults are similar to Cilix patula, from which it can be distinguished by comparing the male genitalia and by the postmedial fascia on the forewings which is less strongly marked.[3]
