The forewings are orange yellow with slight subbasal brownish spots in the cell and above the inner margin. The costa is brownish to the excurved dark antemedial line, which is incurved and obsolescent at vein 1. There is a black discoidal lunule and a postmedial line formed of small fuscous spots in and on the interspaces, arising below the costa, incurved at vein 7, excurved to vein 2, then bent inwards. There is a series of dark striae just before the termen. The hindwings are orange yellow with a black discoidal spot. The postmedial line is rather diffused, fuscous, excurved between veins 5 and 2 and slightly below the submedian fold. There is a series of dark striae just before the termen. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Syllepte strigicincta is recorded against all the insects logged in Tambopata National Reserve (7 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
