The Miltochrista curvifascia species-group

Diagnostic characters. The members of Miltochrista curvifascia species-group exhibit range of variation in wing maculation and are better defined on the basis of male genitalia only. In male genitalia, the costa (dorsal half) is well defined with a distinct spine like distal costal process and a subapical membranous flap on inner side. The ventral half (sacculus and distal saccular process) is conspicuously shorter than dorsal half with highly sclerotised and variously modified saccular process.
