Cotana bakeri is a moth in the family Eupterotidae. It was described by James John Joicey and George Talbot in 1917. [1] It is found in New Guinea. [2]

The forewings are about 21 mm in length and are yellowish brown, with the apex and outer margin purplish brown, through faintly suffused below vein five. There is a prominent, straight brown discal line extending from the middle of the costa to the middle of the inner margin. The basal area features greyish-white scaling. The hindwings are pale rufous brown with a thin dark discal line, a faint post-discal line, and indications of a subterminal line. [3]
