Description
26-44mm. They have a dark bronzy brown body and mainly pink wings. This is very similar to Beguma sp. 6 but the FW are broader. The illustration is of a particularly distinctly marked specimen. Spots of deeper rose can be seen, especially on the HW where the bronze color is restricted to the basal area.
