Dahira svetsinjaevae is a moth of the Sphingidae family. It is known from China.[2]

The length of the forewings is 27-29 mm. It is similar to Dahira obliquifascia but distinguishable by the almost uniform bright orange ground colour of the underside of the forewings and hindwings with poorly contrasting pale brown marginal bands and a strongly contrasting black forewing discal area.
