Teldenia seriata is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Warren in 1922.[1] It is found in New Guinea and on Goodenough Island.
The length of the forewings is 12-14 mm for males and 13.5-14.5 mm for females. The costa and fringe of the forewings of the males are buff, while those of the females are paler. The sub-basal fascia is reduced to five dark brown spots and the inner postmedial is reduced to seven or eight spots. The subterminal is reduced to nine spots and the distal postmedial is continuous and buff. The terminal line is variable. The hindwings are as the forewings, but there is no sub-basal row of spots.[2]
