Cotana affinis

Wikipedia Abstract

Cotana affinis is a moth in the Eupterotidae family. It was described by Rothschild in 1917. It is found in New Guinea. The wingspan is about 50 mm. The basal one-third of the forewings is cream-white with an oblique subbasal chocolate band and a broad dark-chocolate antemedian band. In between these two bands is a chocolate stigma with a white centre. The outer two-thirds of the wing are creamy-grey washed with brown and with a postmedian cream-grey band edged outwardly by a crenulated chocolate hair line. There is also a large chocolate patch above vein 6. The hindwings are orange-yellow, but bright orange at the base and on the inner area. There are two faint transverse shadow lines.
