Singh, Navneet, Kirti, Jagbir Singh, Ranjan, Rahul, Chandra, Kailash & Speidel, Wolfgang, 2020, On the taxonomy of the genus Sacada Walker, 1862 from India, with descriptions of a new genus and two new species (Pyralinae, Pyralidae, Lepidoptera), ZooKeys 962, pp. 139-163 : 139

Genus Sacada Walker, 1862

Sacada Walker 1862: 136.

Type species.

Sacada decora Walker, 1862.

Diagnostic characters.

Mostly dark-coloured moths with a slightly variable wing pattern; male antennae typically pectinate (ciliate and toothed in some species). In addition to the narrow forewing with angular edge and the sexual dimorphism with the female being much larger than the male, the genus Sacada is well defined by a number of characters: long legs with tufts of scales, some of which are filiform; thorax with patagia having prominent scales, ending with two brushes; male genitalia with uncus hooded; free valves without process; transtilla modified into elaborate sclerotized structure; juxta well developed; female genitalia with wide anal papillae; very short eighth segment; very short ductus bursae prolonged by a long, ovoid corpus bursae with sclerotisations ( Leraut 2013).

Distribution.

Cameroon, China, Democratic Republic of the Congo, India, Indonesia, Ivory Coast, Japan, Madagascar, Malawi, Malaysia, Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, Russia, Uganda, Vietnam, Zimbabwe ( Nuss et al. 2003-2020); Bhutan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka ( Hampson 1896); Nepal ( Yamanaka 1995).
