Pantographa Lederer, 1863 View in CoL , Micromartinia Amsel, 1957 , and Haritalodes Warren, 1890

Pantographa View in CoL , Micromartinia View in CoL , and Haritalodes View in CoL also belong to the tribe Agroterini ( Mally et al. 2019) and are closely related based on external and genitalic characters. Externally, they share prominent orbicular and claviform spots in the discal area, and a claviform spot in the anal area. In the male genitalia, they share an uncus with dorsal, long, non-deciduous setae, but the apex is variable in shape, either pointed, round, square-like, with and without a medial cleft, and also a medially flat transtilla with a suture medially separated or not, of various widths, with posterior arms to the costa of valva and medioposteriorly with membranous or sclerotized anterior arms, and a prominent, elongate saccus (anterior to the valvae of various shapes). The latter character (elongate saccus) was listed as a synapomorphy for the tribe Agroterini ( Mally et al. 2019) , along with the “uncus head chaetae (=setae) simple, not split.” Although these three genera do not have a separate uncus head as in other members of the tribe, the setae associated with the uncus are not split.
