Albara reversaria is a moth of the Drepanidae family. It is found in Sumatra, Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia, the north-eastern parts of the Himalaya and Taiwan.
The larvae feed on Myrica species, as well as the leaves of Quercus variabilis. Mature larvae fix their body to the base of a leaf with silk and curve the leaf margins where pupation takes place.[1]
