Description
Genus Xenoberotha gen. nov.
Type and only species. Xenoberotha angustialata sp. nov.
Diagnosis. May be easily distinguished from other genera of the family by a combination of the following character states: [1] scale-like, short, densely spaced setae on procoxae; [2] forewing very narrow (length/width ratio 4.1); [3] forewing CuA pectinate; [4] outer gradate series of crossveins close, nearly parallel to hind margin.
Remarks. This combination of character states does not occur in any other genus of the family. Condition [4] is characteristic of only this genus in the subfamily.
Etymology. From the Greek xenos [ξένος], strange, unusual, and Berotha, a genus-group name. Gender feminine.
