Neadeloides Klima 1939

Description

Genus Neadeloides Klima, 1939

Klima in Bryk, 1939, Lepidopterorum Catalogus, 94: 369.

Type species: Hoterodes cinerealis Moore, 1867.

Distribution: India (Darjeeling, Sikkim) and Bhutan.

Diagnosis. The males of Neadeloides are recognised by their long antennae as well as their long and narrow forewings with produced apex and very oblique termen. In females, the antennae are comparatively shorter and forewings are broader. In male genitalia uncus is diagnostic: broad and inverted U-shaped, strongly concave on ventral side with a small, sub-apical lateral process on both sides; distal part studded with simple setae. Externally, the members of Neadeloides resemble the genus Tetridia Warren, 1890 but clearly distinct due to male genitalia of the latter having uncus not concave, without sub-apical lateral process; valva strongly constricted subapically with spine like saccular processes (information about Tetridia published in Mally et al. 2019).

Based on external morphology and male genitalia structures, Neadeloides can be sub-divided into two species groups:
