Lemaireia
Nassig & Holloway
Type
species: loepoides Butler.
This small Oriental genus consists of three orange-marked yellow species,
reviewed by Nassig & Holloway (in press). Diagnostic features are:
uniformity, rather than asymmetry, of the rings of the ocelli; an
undivided, dorsally domed uncus in the male genitalia; a short broad
aedeagus with two apical fields of scobination, and a densely and robustly
scobinate apex to the conical vesica; strong pouches lateral to the ostium
in the female genitalia; a signum consisting of a single spine in the
bursa copulatrix.
