Genus Synersaga Gozmany, 1978

Synersaga Gozmány 1978: 141; Wu 1997: 174; Park et al. 2007: 206; Park 2009: 2.

Lecithocera pseudocathra Diakonoff 1951: 76 - Type species. Type locality: Myanmar

= Anamimnesis Gozmány 1978: 143. Type species: Anamimnesis bleszynskii Gozmany 1978: 143 (synonimized by Park 2000).

Note.

Synersaga is characterized by the forewing characters: forewing slightly broader distally with round apex, evenly colored, with yellowish brown or blackish ground color; venation with R3 free or connate with R4+5; M3 and CuA2 short-stalked or connate. However, the forewing color patterns of the known species are very similar to each other and they can be differentiated from one another by the shape of the uncus and the caudal processes of the juxta in the male genitalia. The abdominal tergites are densely spinose, and the seventh tergite is uniquely specialized, produced laterally with a sclerotized anterior margin.
