Ditrigona spilota is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Wilkinson in 1968.[1] It is found in China (Yunnan).

The wingspan is 17–19 mm for males and 17-18.5 mm for females. There are some dark brown scales at the base of the forewing costa. The fasciae are dark brownish grey and equally spaced, with three or four diffusely marked lunulate fasciae proximal to the end of the cell and three more clearly marked fasciae and strongly lunulate distal to the end of the cell. There is a narrow terminal fascia. The hindwings have five lunulate fasciae and the same colour as the forewings.[2]
