Thinopteryx
Butler
Type species: crocopterata Kollar.
This genus has the most Ourapteryx-like pattern
with straight, transverse forewing fasciae and a prominent hindwing tail. In the
male genitalia the valves are elongate, narrow, and the central costal spur is
long. The aedeagus vesica is sclerotised, finely corrugate on one side. In the
female of the type species the bursa is asymmetric, the signum set in a slight
lateral lobe.
There are two species in Borneo, both montane.
