The rubra View in CoL species-group

Diagnostic characters. Moths of the rubra species - group are characterized by having an ochreous forewing of all shades with a short dorsal spot or a short obliquely inward dorsal streak, and with 1‒2 short basal streaks or a sub- basal fascia in most species.

Male and female genitalia are highly diverse, and they do not share any unique characters that could separate them from species of the other groups.

This group includes 10 previously described species and three new species described below.
