Amata velatipennis is blackish green, with a white section on the upper side of its
antennae towards the tip. Its
abdomen has four crimson bands with one at the base, and the other three in the middle of the abdomen. It has very broad forewings, and smaller hindwings. The
holotype was measured at 6
lines in length, and its wings at 18 lines. The colouration of the wings distinguishes it from other species in the genus. ==References==
