Palirisa cervina is a moth of the Eupterotidae family. It is found in south-east Asia, including Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar,[1] India and Taiwan.

The wingspan is about 104 mm. Adults are similar to Palirisa lineosa, but are pale grey-brown and only the medial and postmediai rufous lines on the forewings are present, the latter with a waved line beyond it, between which and the postmedial line the colour is darker. The hindwings have three obsolescent lines and no outer line.[2]
