Diagnosis. Sexes highly dimorphic in size: females nearly twice as large as males. Antennae pectinate to near tip in both sexes. Male genitalia distinct from everything known for the subfamily, as shown in the illustrations (see description below under S. stragula ).

Etymology. A combination of H. stragula , the type-species, and Notodonta ; feminine.

Remarks. The combination of pectinate antennae in both sexes with the lunular mark at end of cell is unique in the New World Notodontidae .
