Description
A pink-brown species with brown FW markings restricted to a straight submedian line, a wavy subtermenal line and a comma shaped stigma in the cell. The HW is translucent white with the distal end of the veins picked out in pale brown. Similar to Hyalinarcha hyalinalis Hampson, 1913: 527 and some Trigonoorda spp. such as T. iebelealis Munroe 1974: pl. 1, fig. 4. It differs from H. hyalinalis in lacking the white band proximal to the brown subtermenal line and having no dark marks on the HW. Hyalinarcha sp. 2 is much more silver and grey coloured.
