Ululodes Smith, 1900 ( Smith, 1900)

DIAGNOSIS: Antennae extending beyond first fork of FW RA in spread specimens. Eyes bilobed. Face, including paraocular band, densely hirsute, with long, wispy setae. Pleurostoma present but poorly differentiated. Wing bases not appendiculate, margins usually entire, HW posterior margin profile proximally concave in some species. Pterostigma short. HW CuA conspicuously sinuous. Wings sometimes maculated with patterning, membranes occasionally fuscous, particularly in males. T3 with conspicuous parasagittal patterning comprising dark longitudinal markings surrounded by a field of yellow pigment, generally consisting of an anterior set of small maculations, and a larger posterior maculation; this pattern continued, often in a slightly altered or reduced form, on T4 and T5, and occasionally in a very reduced manner on T6 and/or T7. Male ectoprocts weakly fingerlike, ventrad, produced portion variable, but not longer than height of main portion of ectoproct. Parameres simple, not extending beyond apex of gonarcus.
