The major character separating these two genera, as presented in J. Polhemus (1985) , is the reduction of venation in the corium of the forewing of Micracanthia , in which only the radial and medial veins are present. Lindskog (1986) considered this diagnostically reduced corial venation to be a potentially homoplasious character and provided evidence that such reductions were also present in some species that he felt were more properly assigned to Saldula . Given that this character does hold for the species in the region under study, however, we retain these two genera as separate in the context of the present work.
