About Canucha specularis (Moore, 1879)

The head, thorax, and abdomen of Canucha specularis are pale ochreous brown. The vertex of the head and the shaft of the antennae are white. Antennae are bipectinated, meaning they have a comb-like structure on both sides, in both sexes; the branches are longer in males. The forewings are pale ochreous brown, with an indistinct, irregular antemedial fuscous band. The outer area of the forewings is suffused with fuscous, which leaves the veins pale. A pale oblique line runs from near the apex to the inner margin beyond the middle of the forewing, and a submarginal series of black spots is present on the forewings. The hindwings are wholly suffused with fuscous except for their base and apex. The oblique line on the hindwings is positioned medially. Two hyaline, glass-like, spots are present beyond the cell between veins 4 and 6 on the hindwings, and the submarginal spots on the hindwings are indistinct.
