(Thyatira dysimata)

Description

Thyatira dysimata is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by West in 1932. It is found in the Philippines (Luzon). The wingspan is about 44 mm. The forewings are mummy-brown tinged with fuscous-black and with a number of wavy, transverse, fuscous-black lines on the costa. The basal patch upper half is white suffused with pinkish buff and there are two fuscous spots at the base of the cell, as well as a slightly oval patch of testaceous to mummy-brown just below the median nervure, fuscous below anal vein, the whole edged with white and defined by fuscous-black. There is a pinkish buff patch on the inner margin medially defined by fuscous-black, with a little white on the upper edge and there is a patch on the costa postmedially, bordered by white, filled with testaceous tinged with mummy-brown. There is also an elongate pinkish buff patch at the apex almost touching the point of the postmedial patch. The space between and above these two patches is shaded with fuscous-black, with three white points. The hindwings are pinkish buff, suffused with fuscous on the distal half.
