Genus Dragmatucha Meyrick, 1908 View in CoL

Type species: Dragmatucha proaula Meyrick, 1908 .

The genus Dragmatucha Meyrick is defined by having hind tibia with long, rough scales beyond median spur and is superficially similar to Idiopteryx Walsingham , but it is distinguished by the forewing venation with CuA 1 and CuA 2 coincident. Two species have been listed on the Afromoths website (J. & W. De Prins, October 2018), but D. bivia Meyrick was already transferred to Idiopteryx Walsingham by Janse (1954), having the forewing with CuA 1 and CuA 2 coincident.
