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

The wingspan is 20.5–23 mm for males and 19.5–24 mm for females. The fore- and hindwings are lustrous white, the forewings with the base of the costa dark brown, becoming paler distally. The transverse fasciae are very pale grey and hardly visible and the subbasal fascia is extremely weakly marked. There are broad antemedial and postmedial fasciae and two narrow slender poorly defined subterminal fasciae. The hindwings are similar to the forewings, but the two subterminal fasciae are much broader.[2]
