Description
Genus Abantiades Herrich-Schäffer, [1855]
Diagnosis:
Simonsen (2018) produced a new diagnosis for the genus. “A patch of elongate scales at the forewing base and the ‘sensory tubercles’ on S2 are both unique and diagnostic for Abantiades.” He also noted that they have hepialine (Dumbleton 1966; Dugdale 1994) venation, and monopectinate antennae that lack scales on the flagellum.
