Striginiana pseudostrigina is a moth in the family Eupterotidae. It was described by Rothschild in 1917. [1] It is found in the Democratic Republic of Congo. [2]

Adults are similar to Striginiana strigina , but are paler and have the light area on the inner side of the postmedian band, as well as a row of arrow-head marks on the nervures joined into a band by intranervular lunules, instead of a double row of dots on the nervures. Furthermore, the black antemedian band of the hindwings is narrower. [3]
