Species belonging to this genus are easily distinguished by the 

 crossvein running parallel to costa and the simple fifth vein in con- 

 nection with the quadriarticulate palpi, the simple claws and the 

 small pulvilli. The type species, Holoneura cinctus Kieff., 

 has 13 antennal segments in the male, the stem of the flagellate 

 segments being about two-thirds the length of the basal enlarge- 

 ment. The female antennae are composed of 12 cylindric, sub- 

 sessile segments, the fourth with a length about four times its diam- 

 eter. Male genitalia thick, terminal clasp segment with a small 

 claw, the two plates bilobed, the ventral plate shorter. Ovipositor 

 short, the terminal lobes biarticulate. Several American species, one 

 reared from wild fig, have been referred to this genus.
