Eupterote flavicollis is a moth in the Eupterotidae family. It was described by Guérin-Meneville in 1843.[1] It is found in India.
The wingspan is 60-75 mm. Adults are similar to Eupterote mollifera, but the thorax is red-brown. The forewings have five or six waved lines before the postmedial line, which is curved and the grey spots take the form of a complete waved band and are further from the postmedial line. Between the line and grey band is a conjoined series of dark spots, those towards the inner margin largest. The hindwings have a single postmedial curved line, and sometimes medial and outer lines.[2]
