Type-species: Corita amphichroma Clarke, 1978: 15 View in CoL , fig. 9, pl. 1g; by original designation and monotypy.

The genus Corita Clarke (1978) includes four known species, C. amphichroma Clarke, 1978 , C. nandoi Urra, 2016 , C. attenboroughi Urra, 2017 and C. guillermoi Urra, 2018 . These species share the following characters: scape of antenna without a pecten; labial palpus recurved, second segment exceeding base of antenna; FW with apex not falcate, vein R 4+5 stalked, R 5 to costa or apex, CuP present, 1A+2A furcate; HW with veins M 3 and CuA 1 connate or short-stalked; hindtibia with raised piliform scales; terga without spiniform setae; uncus and gnathos developed, anellus sclerotized, costa of valva sclerotized, sacculus reduced and cucullus with abundant setae; antrum sclerotized and corpus bursae with signum. The new species shares these features, except the anellus and antrum are membranous. Despite the differences, we include it in this genus.
