Gogana tenera is a moth in the Drepanidae family.[1] It is found on Borneo and Peninsular Malaysia.[2]

Adults are uniform ochreous grey, the wings are crossed by many sinuous and more or less crenulated grey lines. The forewings have a black mark at the costa before the apex and a black line on the inner margin, which is continued along the outer margin. There is a blackish streak on the hindmargin before the angle. There are many grey specks and point on both wings and some prominent lines near the outer margin of the hindwings, containing a submarginal whitish band.[3]

The larvae feed on Calamus manan.
