Description

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.
