Abaratha Moore, 1881 View in CoL is a valid genus
Presently placed in the genus Caprona Wallengren, 1857 (type species Caprona pillaana Wallengren, 1857 ), Pterygospidea ransonnetii R. Felder, 1868 , the type species of Abaratha Moore, 1881 , is not monophyletic with C. pillaana . Instead, Abaratha is sister to Odontoptilum de Nicéville, 1890 (type species Achlyodes sura Moore, [1866] , which is a junior subjective synonym of Pterygospidea angulata C. Felder, 1862 ). To restore the monophyly of Caprona , we suggest to treat Abaratha as a valid genus, revised status.
