Diagnosis. Boalda species occur east of the Andes between circa -20° and -33° latitude ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 ), and are recognizable by the following combination of characters: antennae scaled, bipectinate, with secondary sensillae on each segment; eyes hairy; widening of the white outer postmedial line toward the forewing costa, coupled with characteristic pinkish or russet patterning of the forewing and U-shaped marking in the median area; valves of male genitalia rounded, mitten-like, with secondary lobe arising ventrally from costa and projecting anterolaterally, and a medial thorn-like clasper; juxta rhomboidal; vesica with a sclerotized basal cap-shaped plate with denticles. The immature stages and biology of the included species remain unknown.
