Callidrepana amaura

Callidrepana amaura is a moth in the family Drepanidae first described by Warren in 1901.[1] It is found in Nigeria.[2]

The moth's wingspan is about 20 mm. Its forewings are brownish ochreous, darker brownish towards the hindmargin, with all the veins paler. There is a silvery-scaled streak along the costa from the base, becoming subcostal in the outer half of the wing and there is a diffuse brown shade from the base through the cell towards the apex, with a line of silvery scales along its middle. There is also a large brown mulberry-shaped discocellular blotch with some lustrous scales upon it and a smaller dark brown blotch between it and the apex, as well as traces of a dull brown lustrous-edged inner line at one-third, more distinct towards the inner margin. There is a denticulated lustrous line, marked with dark leaden-tinged spots on the veins, from the costa before the apex to the anal angle, preceded by a brown shade and followed by a brown suffusion. The hindwings are paler, with the submarginal lustrous line and brown shades as in the forewings, but not reaching the costa. There are traces of a central brown shade from the inner margin.[3]
