Genus Teliphasa Moore, 1888: 200 View in CoL
Type species: Teliphasa orbiculifer Moore, 1888 View in CoL (by original designation)
Distribution: India ( Hampson 1896a); China, Japan, Korea ( Liu et al. 2016); DR Congo ( Nuss et al. 2003 –2022).
Diagnosis: The genus Teliphasa Moore, 1888 is diagnosed on the basis of broad forewing, conspicuous discal and discocellular dark spots, a narrow antemedial line, and a relatively broad postmedial line that is curved outwardly at middle. In males, antenna thicker with a row of short cilia along anterior margin ( Liu et al. 2016). In male genitalia, the valva is broad fan-shaped and almost circular; gnathos in form of long, paired processes.
The genus Teliphasa superficially resembles Termioptycha Meyrick, 1889 , but can be easily distinguished by the forewing costa without a stigma in the median area, and the hindwing with a discocellular spot, whereas in Termioptycha , the forewing costa has a distinct stigma in the median area, and the hindwing lacks the discocellular spot) ( Liu et al. 2016). In male genitalia, the conspicuously subrounded valva and the lack of a costal spine clearly separate Teliphasa from Termioptycha .
