Caeneressa diaphana is a moth in the family Erebidae. It is found from India to southern China, Taiwan and Sundaland.[1]

The wingspan is 38–45 mm.[2] The wings of the males are mostly transparent except for a black bar at the end of the forewing cell and an irregular black apical zone. In females, the apical zone of both wings is more extensive, and the bar at the end of the cell is broader, more irregular, with a narrow black band connecting it with a marginal black area. The abdomen is irregularly ringed with dull yellow.[3]
