The
nesoclera
-group
Diagnostic characters.
This group is defined by the combinations of following characters in male: the stout and slightly appressed segment III of the labial palpus, the abundant coremata placed interior of the abdomen, the strongly sclerotized uncus with spine-like setae, the absence of the culcitula, dorsally furrowed gnathos and the slender saccus. Female genitalia are characterized by the sclerotized abdominal segment VII and the tergum VIII with a distinctively large and strongly sclerotized process.
Remarks.
The forewing pattern resembles those of the
guerinii
-group and the
grandiunca
-group, but the markings are somewhat reduced.
