Type species.

Cicinnus lantona Schaus, 1905.

Diagnosis.

Shape somewhat variable, but maculation consistent in presence of white apical dash on the forewing which forms a connection with a white, swooping "postmedial lunule" which may or may not form a continuous white band outlining the postmedial line ( St Laurent and Dombroskie 2016).

Apomorphy.

(1) Paired, elongated, thin, tusk-like extensions reaching outwards from modified transtilla/juxtal complex which itself extends inward into the body cavity from attachments on either side of the inner costal apodemes of the valvae (Fig. 3a).
