Kobestelia rosea Holloway sp. n.

Diagnosis

♂ 13-16mm.

The forewings are a dull pink with paler fawn areas in the reniform, basal to the oblique black subbasal, and subapically in association with the costal triangle; fasciae distal to the subbasal are barely evident but there is a distinctive, broad, diffuse brown shade marginally from the central angle to the tornus (somewhat more intense in Sumatran specimens). In the male genitalia the saccus tapers to a point rather than being rounded, and the valves are slightly more slender than in obliquata
