Preptos is a monotypic moth genus in the family Eupterotidae. Its single species, Preptos oropus, is found in Mexico[1] and Guatemala.[2] Both the genus and species were first described by William Schaus in 1892.[3]
The wingspan is about 95 mm. Adults are fawn coloured, the outer margins of the forewings and hindwings are broadly brown and separated from the ground colour by a straight dark line extending from the apices to the inner margins near the angles on both wings. There is a median and on the forewings, as well as an outer transverse dark wavy shade and a blackish spot on the subcostal vein near the base.[4]
