Nordstromia vira is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by Frederic Moore in 1866.[1] It is found in Myanmar, India (Sikkim, Darjeeling, Assam), Nepal and China (Sichuan, Fujian, Tibet).[2]
The wingspan is about 27 mm.[3] Adults are pale fawn colour, the hindwings pale yellow anteriorly. There are two oblique dark brown lines crossing both wings, between which are three small white discal spots. There is a pale submarginal line and the exterior border of both wings is defined by a brown line.[4]
