Type species.

Perophora mera Dognin, 1924.

Diagnosis.

Small mimallonids with short triangular forewings with distinct straight postmedial line, ground coloration pale tan-orange with pink coloration throughout the antemedial and medial areas.

Apomorphies.

(1) Uncus as long (roughly length of valva), narrow spine-like in shape, not obviously triangular as in essentially all other mimallonid genera (Fig. 21a); (2) Subuncus projections similar in shape to those of Lacosoma , but originating from downward lateral projections of tegumen extending well below costal margin of valva (Fig. 21b), as opposed to extending directly outward from ventral margin of tegumen above or very near costal valva margin as in Lacosoma (se Fig. 20a).
