Type species. Susica congrua Walker, 1862 (by original designation) (TL: Sarawak , Borneo ) . Distribution. India to the Philippines ( Solovyev & Witt 2009 ), and Papua New Guinea . Diagnosis. The genus Mambarona Hering, 1931 is defined by: i) the yellowish brown colour and an obliquely straight band and zig-zag submarginal fascia on the forewings, ii) male genitalia with bifid gnathos and iii) aedeagus sickle-shaped and apically acute. Members of this genus are sexually dimorphic, with females larger than males ( Solovyev & Witt 2009 ). Taxonomic notes. Holloway (1986) synonymized the genus Mambarona with Birthama Walker, 1862 , but later, Solovyev & Witt (2009) resurrected the genus Mambarona including six species: M. congrua ( Walker, 1862 ) (= Setora simplex Snellen, 1900 , in Piepers & Snellen 1900: 64 ) (as type species), M. obliquifascia ( Hampson, 1893 ) (= Miresa canescens Hampson, 1896 ) from Ceylon [ Sri Lanka ] ( Hering 1931 ); M. timorensis Hering, 1931 from Suai, Portuguese Timor [ East Timor ] ( Hering 1931 ); M. florensis Hering, 1931 from West Flores , [ Indonesia ] ( Hering 1931 ); M. irrorata ( West, 1932 ) from Philippines and Sulawesi ( Holloway 1986 ) and M. pelochroa ( West, 1932 ) from Mindanao [ Philippines ] ( Holloway 1986 ). Remark. Holloway (1986) reported M. obliquifascia from S[outh] India also, but it seems to be due to wrong interpretation.
