Habrosyne sanguinea is a moth in the family Drepanidae first described by Frederic Moore in 1882.[1] It is found in Sikkim in India, Tibet in China and Nepal.[2]
The wingspan is about 44 mm. The forewings have a bright ferruginous basal patch, bearing a silvery spot below the median nervure, and also creamy white on its outer edge. The outer half of the wing is dark ferruginous brown, with a bright ferruginous streak and patch on the inner margin, the latter with a waved white inner edge. There are two bright ferruginous patches on the costa with white inner edges. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[3]
