Triorbis Hampson Gen. rev.

Type species: annulata Swinhoe, Burma.

The forewings of the two included species are rich brown that is bisected basally by a golden streak. The male antennae are rather lamellate, robust.

The male genitalia have the uncus reduced or absent. The valves are also reduced (aureovitta Hampson) or with a long, curved process from the base of the costa (annulata). The vinculum is variably developed into a flimsy, slightly corematous, pocket-like structure. The aedeagus has a convolute vesica with some areas of scobination and sclerotisation.

In the female, the bursa is large, with a strong, but relatively short signum consisting of the pair of spined bands or triangles (annulata) typical of the subfamily; the spining is robust.

The two included species are described below.
