Negera ramosa is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Watson in 1965.[1] It is found in the Democratic Republic of Congo (Orientale) and Uganda.[2]
The length of the forewings is 23.5–26 mm. The colour-pattern of the wings is as for Negera confusa. The base of the forewings is buff and the area between the medial fasciae is pinkish buff, with a paler central area. The area between the postmedial fascia and the outer margin is buff anteriorly and reddish brown posteriorly at the outer margin, with a darker brown area midway between the tornus and the posterior end of the postmedial fascia. The hindwings are pinkish buff, except for a broad, dark yellowish brown band.[3]
