Ernolatia
Walker
Type species:
signata Walker (= lida Moore).
The wings are a very pale yellow, with fasciae weak only. The uncus of the
male genitalia is undivided, the valves very short, almost vestigial, the
aedeagus is shorter than in other members of the group, the vesica
scobinate. The eighth sternite is distinctive, bearing two widely
separated, slender posterior processes laterally that have an interior
subapical spur. The eighth tergite is small, simple. In the female the
apophyses of the ovipositor lobes are long, those of segment eight very
short.
The larva has small excrescences on T2, A2 and A5, and a horn on A8 (Roepke,
1924).
