A sandy colored Cup Moth with red-brown forewings and pale tan hind wings. About 9 mm long. The head, thorax and legs have hairs and scales that are mixed red-brown and tan (see pictures 5 and 6). This one is similar, but different from the previously spotted Cup Moth. Family Limacodidae.
Came to an ultraviolet light, Finca Argovia, Ruta de Café, Soconusco Area of Chiapas, about 2 hours north of Tapachula.
