Darna Walker, 1862, J. Proc. Linn. Soc. (Zool.) 6: 174.
Type species: Darna plana Walker, 1862, by monotypy.
Note. The genus includes middle-sized, being at least partly pale dull orange or pinkish orange moths. The male antennae are bipectinate till to the tip. The forewings are triangular in shape, with black discal spot and dark, not well defined, external fascia. The hind wings are pale. The tibial spurs are 0-2-4. The larvae are of the nettle-type.
The male genitalia are diagnostic: the uncus is divided into two balloon-shaped parts, thickly covered with rows of scales; the gnathos is very slender and hook-shaped; the costal process in valva is a single flexed spine or with an apical patch of setae.
The genus is reported for the first time from China.
