Trogoptera Herrich-Schaeffer, [1856] Figs 19, 55, 109, 110, 160

Type species.

Trogoptera erosa Herrich-Schäffer, [1856].

Diagnosis.

Similar in overall size and shape to Reinmara, but wings broader, margins more squared, ground coloration more earthen in tone, most species are light khaki brown, some darker. Males and females with bipectinate antennae.

Apomorphies.

Apomorphies 1 and 2 as for Reinmara; but gnathos not bifid, distally forming single point of various lengths (Fig. 19a).

Remarks.

Although the morphology of Reinmara and Trogoptera are similar, we note that in ongoing molecular phylogenetics of the family, which now includes denser sampling of both genera than were available in St Laurent et al. (2018a), the two genera are quite divergent genetically. Eventually it will be worthwhile to include R. ignea which displays characters found in both genera ( Reinmara genitalia but Trogoptera antennae structure) in order to clarify the phylogeny of Trogopterini .
