In the original description of Homogyna bartschi Freina (2011) alluded to the isolated position of this species within Homogyna and its provisional generic placement. It is here placed in Hagnogyna based on both, the rather similar external appearance and the morphology of the genitalia. The male genitalia have a very small gnathos; the valva somewhat rectangular, ubturned, dorso-distally with short pointed protrusion, the area of bifurcate setae extends to ventral margin; the phallus straight, proximally very broad, membranous. The female genitalia are not dissected.

Diagnosis. Hagnogyna bartschi differ from H. sanguicosta by the almost hyaline, not distally opaque hindwings and the white dorso-lateral spots of abdominal tergites 2 and 4 rather than white posterior margins of tergites 4 and 5. Males of H. bartschi are easily distinguished from both sexes of H. sanguicosta by the yellow, not pink marked thorax, wings and sternites. Females of both species have the sternites pinkish-red, but H. bartschi lack the black stripes.
