TRIBE PANGRAPTINI
View Image Gallery of Tribe Pangratini.

This tribe consists here solely of the type genus. The last five genera of the previous sequence have somewhat similar facies, but there are no really clear synapomorphies to enable them to be grouped with Pangrapta; none shows, in the male the sinuous uncus, narrow valves with basal or distal processes, prominent cornuti in the aedeagus vesica, or, in the female, the densely setose eighth segment that particularly characterises that genus.
