Type species.

Cicinnus rotunda Dognin, 1916.

Diagnosis.

Unique, blueish (even somewhat iridescent in fresh specimens) black mimallonids usually with crenulated wing margins, broad wings; comparatively large antennae with some of the longest pectinations in Mimallonidae (this trait is similar to Cunicumara ). The toothed postmedial lines are inwardly lined with pale brown which contrasts against the dark ground color.

Apomorphies.

Similar to Lurama , but the combination of the following characters distinguishes Ulmara : (1) gnathos present (Fig. 28a) and (2) sternite VIII with bilobed feet-like sclerotizations covered in elongate setae (Fig. 28b).
