Description
Aurotalis similis Bassi, 1999
Fig. 6
Aurotalis similis Bassi, 1999: 59, figs 6, 16-20.
Type locality: RSA.
Diagnosis: This species is similar in size and wing markings to A. nigrisquamalis (Hampson) and A. dionisa Błeszyński, but the forewing ground colour is darker with narrow, orange, median and subterminal fasciae, and the hindwings are white suffused brown. In male genitalia, the phallus with a single blunt cornutus will separate this species from other members of the genus. In female genitalia, the ductus bursae funnelshaped and lightly sclerotized only near corpus bursae is diagnostic.
