Dirhinosia Rebel 1905

Description

Dirhinosia Rebel, 1905

Type-species: Dirhinosia trifasciella Rebel, 1905; by original designation.

Dirhinosia is closest to Aristotelia, Caulastrocecis, and Megacraspedus. The genus can be distinguished by a narrow, beak-shaped uncus in the male genitalia and an extremely long ductus bursae in the female genitalia, both of which are putative synapomorphies. A light brown forewing with narrow white interfascial areas and the absence of a gnathos and are additional diagnostic features of the genus. The five described species are restricted to the Mediterranean area and eastern steppes of the Palaearctic region. Host plants are unknown.
