Type species.
Auroriana colombiana St Laurent & C. Mielke, 2016.
Diagnosis.
Orange-brown ground color with diffuse pink coloration on all regions of wings, with a tornal notch on the forewing only, anterior margin of the hindwing smooth. Similarly colored brown and pink Mimallonidae have a notch on the anterior margin of the hindwing (though this may be weak) as well as a usually deeper notch on the forewing tornus, and/or the pink coloration is not suffused across the whole wing in these species, but rather clearly delimited by the postmedial line. For example, see Fatellalla gen. n. below, a similarly colored genus with more clearly distinct medial and submarginal pink coloration.
Apomorphy.
Distally downward curved, snake-like phallus (Fig. 7a; Suppl. material 3: Plate 6, 20:0).
