Arotros is a genus of moths of the family Apatelodidae. Initially classified in Bombycidae, and monotypic with Arotros striata species from Brazil (Rio de Janeiro), it now contains seven additional species Arotros moseri, Arotros bidentata, Arotros tridentata, Arotros colleti, Arotros giustii, Arotros nozama, Arotros vincenti.

The wingspan of Arotros striata is approximately 45 mm. The wings are buff with brown veins and striations. The base and half of the costal margin of the forewings are dark grey, as is the head. The collar is brown, with darker margins. The thorax and abdomen are buff—the latter with numerous longitudinal dark streaks.[1]
