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.
