Diagnosis:
The members of genus
Coenodomus
can be easily recognised on the basis of strongly bipectinate antennae with very long pectination and a long, scaled projection from the scape of the antennae. In male genitalia,
Coenodomus
is characterised by a broad, ventrally concaved and laterally folded uncus, and valvae with a distinctly elongated and sclerotised costa. The genus is closely similar to the members of genus
Orthaga
Walker. 1859
, but is distinct by the antennal scape projection, which is almost as long as antennae, and by both the wings bearing patches of thick, raised scales, whereas in
Orthaga
, the scape projection is shorter and the patches of thick scales on wings are absent.
