The female
Micreriodes
appears to belong to the
Pseudeucoila
because of similar wing pattern and body characteristics, but
Micreriodes
has 12 antennal segments, with the third segment shorter than the second, whereas
Pseudeucoila
has 13 antennal segments and the third antennal segment is longer than the second. Also, the radial cell is open in
Micreriodes
and closed in
Pseudeucoila
.
