Amorbiodes, a New Genus of Neotropical Oecophorinae (Lepidoptera: Oecophoridae)
Amorbiodes Becker new genus includes a single species: Amorbiodes dichromaticus Becker new species, from Brazil. The genitalia are similar to those of Inga Busck species, however the long pectinate male antenna, the shape of labial palpi, and the narrow male forewings with protruded apex exclude it from this genus and are unique among the Neotropical Oecophoridae.
