Cretonia vegetus Swinhoe
(Figs 115, 120).
The male genitalia are
distinguished by presence of a short spine about two‑thirds of the way
along the costal part of the valve; this terminates in an acute angle directed
somewhat dorsally. The cucullar apex is relatively broad. The tegumen on each
side bears a robust, upcurved spine just dorsal to its junction with the
vinculum. The juxta is extended dorsally on each side by a slender pair of
processes. The aedeagus vesica has a large cornutus arising dorsally,
subbasally from the vesica. Females (slides 21110, 21111, 21150) have the
ductus bursae grading imperceptibly into the corpus bursae, with a distinctive,
teat‑like sclerite centrally. The species occurs in India and Burma.
