Xenochroa
Felder
Type
species: notodontina
Felder, Malaysia.
Xenochroa is defined in relation to Calymera in the
description of the latter (see above). The male genitalia show fewer specific
differences than do those in Calymera. This has led to some confusion in
the delimitation of the smaller species with brick red to vinous forewings
treated from
X.
fuscosa
Prout to the suite of unknowns on p. 121, and in the sequence from
X.
diluta
Warren to
X. mediogrisea
Warren starting on p. 125. Any differences that do occur are found in the
aedeagus vesica, therefore it is essential that this is everted. The feature of
dorsal peaking subapically of the valve apodemes forming the transtilla noted by
Holloway (1976: 26; section D3 of Carea) is seen in the species of the
sequence
X.
mathilda
Swinhoe to
X.
