Curoba sangarida Cramer 1781 - Moth Curoba is a genus of moths in the family Arctiidae. It contains the single species Curoba sangarida, which is found in southern India and Sri Lanka. Larval host plant is Crossandra infundibuliformis (Firecracker Flower Plant / കനകാംബരം). Upper Side:- 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. Under Side:- Palpi grey. Breast red, with two black spots on each side. Legs grey. Wings coloured as on the upper side; the red colour on the inferior ones reaching to the body. Margins of the wings entire. Wing-span 1¾ inches (44 mm). 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.
