Lymantica polycyma is a moth of the Lymantriidae family. It is found in eastern Madagascar.
This species looks similar to Lymantica malgassica (Kenrick, 1914) but smaller, with shorter antennae and no trace of pink in the body, wings and legs and with very distinctive genitalia.
The length of the males is 31–36 mm (1.2–1.4 in) and of the females 39–47 mm (1.5–1.9 in).[2]
