Dysgonia stuposa
When at rest, adults hold their wings above their bodies like a roof. They often are attracted by artificial lighting.
Head, thorax and wings are dark brown. Fore wing is with short basal line; the antemedial line erect and having a broad, white, slightly suffused band beyond it, which varies in width; the postmedial line angled also between veins 3 and 4 and sinuous towards inner margin; the apical streak broken up into two spots. Hind wing is with a white medial band; the outer margin grey at centre. The typical form stuposa has the medial band of the fore wing broad and outwardly diffused; the postmedial line usually with only a slight angle at vein 4.
