Description
Genus Lamida Walker, 1859: 252
Type species: Lamida moncusalis Walker, 1859, by monotypy.
= Allata Walker, 1863
Type species: Allata penicillata Walker, 1863, by monotypy.
Diagnosis: Externally, the genus Lamida is mainly identified by the 2 nd segment of the labial palpi being hollowed out for various lengths to hold the scales of the maxillary palpi (except in L. buruensis) and the antenna with basal joint bearing a short, blunt, scaled projection in L. moncusalis Walker, 1859 and L. obscura (Moore, 1888) and without any process in L. mediobarbalis (Hampson, 1916) and L. buruensis Janse, 1931. The genus Lamida exhibits similarities with Canipsa in the presence of the apico-lateral uncus lobes or processes and the apical processes of the juxta. However, Lamida is distinct in having shorter apico-lateral uncus arms and longer apical juxta processes. The species of Lamida exhibits sexual dimorphism.
Taxonomic notes: The genus Lamida was originally described in the family Noctuidae. Hampson (1896a, b) considered Lamida as a sub-section of Macalla with eight species from the world. Solis (1992 [1993]) catalogued four species of Lamida, i.e., L. buruensis Janse, 1931 (Indonesia, Buru), L. mediobarbalis (Hampson, 1916) (Sikhim [Sikkim]), L. moncusalis Walker, [1859] (Hindostan) (= Allata penicillata Walker, 1863, Hindostan), and L. obscura (Moore, 1888) (India, Darjeeling) (= Macalla sordidalis Hampson, 1916, = Macalla proximalis (Caradja, 1925) (China, Canton)). After Solis (1992 [1993]) the taxonomy of Lamida remained unattended and thus remained unchanged with all species mentioned above maintaining the distribution records, except L. buruensis, which is here for the first time recorded from India (Singh et al. 2022).
Distribution: India (Snellen 1890, Hampson 1896b, Mathew & Menon 1984, Solis 1992 [1993], Sanyal et al. 2012), Borneo, Sarawak, Bhutan, China, Nepal (Hampson 1896b, 1916; Caradja 1925, Yamanaka 2000).
