Genus Sonyadora Bechyné, 1958

Sonyadora Bechyné, 1958: 594 (type species Malacosoma quadripustulatum Bowditch, 1925 , by original designation).

Remarks

This genus currently includes eleven described species, distributed in Central and South America. See Fig. 60 for a habitus illustration. However, they are rather heterogeneous. Possibly, the following key will not identify some of them as Sonyadora . Future investigation will probably necessitate the transferal of some species to other genera.
