Type species: Charadra contigua Walker, 1865 , a junior subjective synonym of Charadra deridens (Gueneé) .
The generic placement of Charadra in relation to other pantheine genera, especially Pseudopanthea and Colocasia , is in need of review, and more than one genus for the species currently placed in Charadra may need to be recognized. Th e morphology of the genus is quite heterogeneous, but important shared genital characters include the following: apex of uncus with slight to very pronounced medial notch; clasper parallel to ventral valve margin (perpendicular in Panthea Hübner ) but absent in C. nitens ; dorsal tegumen lacking process (lobed in Panthea , prong-like or flange-like in Colocasia ); basal costal process absent or highly developed; vesica with two strongly sclerotized cornuti (absent in C. nitens ); female ductus bursae sclerotized laterally; corpus bursae lacking signa. Some of the character states treated as autapomorphic for Panthea by Fibiger et al. (2009) are also present in Charadra , including a dorsally membranous aedeagus and the presence of cornuti on the vesica.
