Description

Genus Abantiades Herrich-Schäffer, [1856]

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 venation (Dumbleton 1966, Dugdale 1994), and mono-pectinate antennae that lack scales on the flagellum.
