Note.

Fignya was first described by Solovyev and Witt (2009). Previously, it contained only the type species F. melkaya Solovyev & Witt, 2009, known to be distributed in Vietnam and China. Fignya species are small in size, antennae are filiform in both sexes; the labial palpi are slightly up-curved; the forewing has large white spot in the Cu-area with brown border, with sinusoidal vein R1, and the veins R3+R4 are branched from R5. The tibial spurs are 0-2-4. In the male genitalia, the gnathos is fishtail-shaped with a comb-like apex; the vesica bears large, strongly sclerotized cornuti ( Solovyev and Witt 2009; Ji 2018). The second species of this genus, F. ravalba sp. nov., collected from Xizang, is described below.
