Chlumetia postrubra sp. n.
 
10-11mm. In facies this species is similar to euthysticha in the
forewing, though slightly paler in the medial zone. The hindwings, however, are
diagnostically red. The male genitalia are similar to those of euthysticha but
the valves are longer, broader, apically rounded. In the female genitalia the
general structure is as in euthysticha and brevisigna; the bursa
is larger than in the latter and the signa, though round, are more distal and
less well defined.
