Status

This undescribed species is similar in appearance to the common Orange Stripe-backed Moth. Adults can be distinguished by forewing pattern: an orange costal stripe joining an orange transverse stripe, two black dots in the cell, an orange area on the basal half of the inner margin, and a whiter ground color. Its barcode BIN BOLD:AAG0003 is most closely related to that of the Orange Stripe-backed Moth, BOLD:AAB5649.
