Cataloxia Hampson
Type
species: diagrapta Hampson.
This is
a monobasic genus. The species is small, both fore- and hindwings fasciated in
varying shades of pale to dark brown. The hindwing fasciae are straight, roughly
parallel to the distal margin. Those of forewing are oblique, and also run
straight from the dorsum to the line of the stigmata, where they veer
irregularly towards the costa. The reniform is a pale dot, and the orbicular is
also paler but more obscure, squarish.
Males
have not been located.
The
female genitalia in the Singapore specimen dissected were damaged, the ductus
and bursa probably destroyed by mould. The ovipositor lobes are rather
rectangular, and the eighth segment is deep, a complete ring. The membrane
between these two parts is also deep and slightly sclerotised.
