Mesasteria Hampson
Type
species: sanguilinea Hampson.
This
genus is monobasic, represented only by the holotype female of its type species.
The facies is described below. The size and hindwing shape, angled at CuA2, is
similar to Condate, but the fasciation is not consistent with Condate.
The labial palps have a very short third segment.
In the
genitalia, the ostium is cleft and situated well within the eighth segment as in
other members of the Saroba group. The seventh sternite is slightly
reduced, shorter posteriorly than the tergite. The ductus is moderate, narrow,
evenly sclerotised. The corpus bursae is long, narrow, slightly spiralled
basally, and very lightly and finely scobinate.
