Gynautocera rubriscutellata is a species of moth of the family Zygaenidae found in Taiwan. It was first described by Hering in 1922.[1]
Gynautocera rubriscutellata is a diurnal species, active in low elevation areas, with a wingspan of 85–90 mm. Its hindwings are shorter than that of Histia flabellicornis, another species of Zygaenidae with a similar appearance. Part of its hindwings bear metallic blue coloration. It is also very similar in appearance to G. papilionaria, which is also found in southeast Asia.[2]
