Euphaneta Schaus, 1928 Figs 35, 72, 152

Type species.

Phaneta divisa Walker, 1855.

Diagnosis.

This genus is similar to Aleyda, but Euphaneta are larger, have broader, more ovoid wings, lunate hyaline patches on all wings, and lack clearly distinct antemedial and postmedial lines, but rather have a dark brown antemedial area which merges with a brown costal region that extends along the length of the wing. Euphaneta are cryptically colored, apparently camouflaged resembling a woody stem.

Apomorphy.

Hood-like juxtal process (Fig. 35a) dorsal to weakly sclerotized phallus which is shorter than the juxtal hood above it; this juxtal process is a large, substantial structure comprising almost entire diaphragmal area.

Remarks.

We were unable to include the female of E. divisa, however sexual dimorphism in Euphaneta is not overly significant, with females only being larger and with broader wings than the males.
