Singh, 2014 ( Figs 94, 95 , 153 , 207 ) Indiania Kirti, Joshi & N. Singh , in Kirti, N. Singh & Joshi, 2014, Tinea 23 (1): 42 ( Type species: Miltochrista eccentropis Meyrick, 1894 , by original designation). Diagnosis. Small moths with white, yellow or orange coloration and black pattern similar to that of Ammatho ( Striatella ) . The male genitalia are also characterised by the elongate, entire, asymmetrical valvae with robust thorn-like apical processes being distal costal processes, the absence of a medial costal process, the basally setose sacculus with short trigonal distal process, and the aedeagus vesica bearing fields of granulation and patches of spinules or thorn-like cornuti. The main autapomorphy in the male genitalia is strongly asymmetrical valvae apexes. The female genitalia are characterised by the presence of an antevaginal plate having a narrow and heavily sclerotised medial plate and broad and strongly dentate lateral lobes. In addition, the posterior section of corpus bursae is narrowed, weakly sclerotised on the left and strongly scobinated on the right; the anterior section of corpus bursae is evenly scobinated; the appendix bursae is large, broad, hook-like curved distally and bears fields of robust spinulose scobination. Distribution. The genus is distributed in Nepal , northeastern India , Myanmar , southern China , and Indochina including Malay Peninsula. Number of species. The genus comprises four valid species and one subspecies.
