Nordstromia lilacina is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It is found in India and mainland China.[1] Reports from Taiwan refer to Nordstromia semililacina.

The larvae feed on the leaves of Quercus variabilis. Mature larvae curve a leaf and fix it with silk. Pupation takes place near the edge of the folded leaf.[2]
