Albara reversaria is a moth of the family Drepanidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1866. 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.
