Taxonomic notes.

Despite of the " Polia -like" habitus the genital structures of both sexes clearly show that Kollariana belong to the " Sideridis " line of the subtribe Mamestrina (See also: Introduction). In the male genitalia, the genital capsule is very similar to that of certain large Sideridis species as e.g. S. turbida (Esper, 1790) or S. egena (Lederer, 1853). The diagnostic features are as follows: valva without saccular process and ampulla, but with ear-shaped costal process near to cucullus; aedeagus with claw- or spine-shaped sclerotisation of carina; vesica T-shaped, with long subbasal diverticulum and acute cornutus. In the female genitalia there are two complete and one shorter row of small, elliptical stigmata on the corpus bursae; the ductus bursae is rather strongly sclerotised with lateral pouch corresponding to the sclerotised extension of carina.
