Type species: Lista genisusalis Walker, 1859 . Paracme Lederer, 1863: 338 . Type species: Paracme insulsalis Lederer, 1863 , by monotypy. Craneophora Christoph, 1881: 1 . Type species: Craneophora ficki Christoph, 1881 , by monotypy. Belonepholis Butler, 1889: 89 . Type species: Belonepholis striata Butler, 1889 , by monotypy. Generic characters. Adult ( Figs 1 , 3 ), body medium to large size. Head with labial palpus upturned, exceeding vertex apically, male with second segment hollowed to receive long brush-like maxillary palpus, female labial palpus thinner than male. Maxillary palpus long, brush-like in male, short and compressed in female. Male antenna serrulate on ventral surface; scape extension apically reaching metathorax. Forewing with or without antemedian line; postmedian line and subterminal line distinct; discal spot absent; discocellular spot represented by a tuft of scales; hindwing concolorous with forewing (except L. yunnanensis sp. nov. and L. variegata ); both wings with several scale tufts. Wing venation ( Fig. 2 ): Forewing with R 1 and R 2 stalked, R 3 , R 4 and R 5 stalked, M 1 from upper angle of cell, M 2 and M 3 from lower angle of cell; hindwing with Sc+R 1 and Rs adjacent, Rs and M 1 stalked. Male genitalia ( Fig. 4 ). Uncus broad, lateral margin with process in some species. Gnathos joined distally, forming a distal process, often trifurcate apically; lateral arm sometimes with a process. Valva medially with a sclerotized plate joined with apex of saculus or process on saculus; costa usually expanded on distal 1/3; sacculus with two dorsal processes (with one in L. sichuanensis and L. serrata sp. nov. ). Saccus present or absent. Phallus slightly curved basally, with or without cornutus. Female genitalia ( Fig. 5 ). Eighth segment rectangular, sternite narrowed medially. Apophyses anteriores slightly longer than apophyses posteriores. Lamella antevaginalis developed in most species. Antrum developed. Ductus bursae membranous. Corpus bursae ovate, with two subrounded signa. Diagnosis. Lista is characterized by the dark purple or reddish-brown distal areas, the orange or yellow fascias and the tufts of scales on both fore- and hindwings; in the male genitalia by the rectangular uncus setose dorsally, sacculus with at least one dorsal process, and valva with a sclerotized plate medially. It is similar to Coenodomus Walsingham, 1888 in the male genitalia, but can be distinguished from the latter by the rectangular uncus usually not concave on posterior margin, the valva with a sclerotized plate medially, and the oval juxta with short lobes posteriorly. In Coenodomus , the uncus is usually inverted trapezoid-shaped and concave posteriorly, the valva lacks a sclerotized plate and the juxta bears long and curved spine-shaped lobes posteriorly.
