Tridrepana unispina is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It is found in China (Fujian, Guangdong, Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan),[1] Japan and Taiwan.[2]

The wingspan is 27–42 mm. Adults are on wing in June.[3]

The larvae feed on the leaves of Castanopsis formosana. Mature larvae curl a leaf margin and fix it with silk at the leaf tip to pupate inside.[4]
