The saturella group

Externally, species are characterized by the dark brown fascia of the forewing (Fig. 1); creamish white or yellowish cream to ochreous yellow frontal tuft. In the male genitalia, the uncus is comprised of two short, rounded lateral lobes; the gnathos is uniquely-shaped, pointed apically and with a slender, hook-like projection basally; the vinculum is without a juxta, and heavily folded medially (Fig. 1). In the female genitalia, apophyses are long; anal papillae are unique, modified into a single, wide, short transverse lobe with a distinctive, trianglular process (Fig. 1); signum is strongly developed ( P. javae and P. amphivittata) or weakly developed ( P. saturella).

From other groups of the Oriental (or Neotropical) Pseudopostega, the saturella group is distinguished by the unique shape of the gnathos in the male genitalia and anal papillae with a distinctive, triangular process in the female genitalia.

Distribution. Currently the group is comprised of three species distributed in Thailand and Indonesia.
