Remarks: This genus is represented by medium-sized moths and the members of this genus were placed in Parasa Moore, 1859 before 2014. The main characteristics are head, thorax and forewings are green in colour, and the green pattern can be lost in forewing in some variations, if any. Klots (1970) has been followed in the present studies for writing terminology and nomenclature.
