Strepsigonia quadripunctata is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1862.[1] It is found in Sundaland, the north-eastern Himalayas and on Sulawesi and the southern Moluccas.[2]
Adults are testaceous, the wings with the exterior lunulate and dentate line rather darker than the ground colour. It is most distinct on the forewings where it terminates in a black apical streak. The discal point is black.[3]
