Description.
Upperside: Antennae filiform and black. Thorax and abdomen chocolate, the latter edged with red. Anterior wings entirely of a dun chocolate colour, having a lemon-coloured streak crossing them from the lower corners to near the middle of the anterior edges. Posterior wings next the body almost black; the remainder carmine, with a waved black line crossing them from the upper to the abdominal corners.

Taxonomy.
"Curoba" is not a member of Arctiidae, because females have no anal glands; according to male genitalia, it is related to a noctuid subfamily Eligminae.
