Lintneria aurigutta (Rothschild & Jordan, 1903)

Similar to Lintneria lugens, but larger, less grey, the wings and body (apart from the abdomen) washed with brown.Easily distinguished from Lintneria maura by the presence of black thoracic stripes, and much more distinctly marked forewings. Metathorax upperside distinguished from Lintneria lugens by the presence of two golden-yellow spots.Abdomen upperside with segments pale brown basally, dark distally, with a very faint mesial band. Palpus and sterna with a few grey scales. Forewing upperside with black markings not prominent (but more so than Lintneria maura) due to the dark background; an indistinct russet patch present posterior to the discal cell proximal to the oblique antemedian double line; discal spot double, prominent; apical oblique line narrow, broadly interrupted at vein Rs4; postmedian line running nearly straight from veins M2 to 1A+2A, interrupted at veins; submarginal line greyish white, irregular, generally parallel to wing margin. Hindwing upperside with bands less white than in Lintneria lugens, washed with brown as are the abdominal bands; basal black patch not quite reaching base; antemedian grey band curved as in Lintneria merops; discal black band broadened from veins M3 to [CuP], and including a grey patch at vein CuA2 and a smaller one at 1A. Uncus broad in proximal half, abruptly narrowed in middle, the apex more slender than in Lintneria lugens.Gnathos longer and more slender than in Lintneria lugens.Harpe ending with a heavy tooth, the dorsal edge heavily toothed, the ventro-distal edge faintly notched.Aedeagus with process similar to that of Lintneria lugens, but broader.
