About Curoba sangarida Cramer, 1781

Upperside: The antennae of Curoba sangarida are filiform and black. The thorax and abdomen are chocolate-colored, and the abdomen has a red edge. The anterior wings are uniformly dun chocolate in color, with a lemon-colored streak that crosses them from the lower corners to near the middle of the anterior edges. On the posterior wings, the area closest to the body is almost black; the rest of the wing is carmine, with a wavy black line that crosses the wing from the upper corners to the abdominal corners.

Underside: The palpi are grey. The breast is red, with two black spots on each side. The legs are grey. The wings have the same coloration on the underside as on the upperside; on the inferior wings, the red color extends all the way to the body. The margins of the wings are entire. The wingspan measures 1+3⁄4 inches (44 mm).
