Oreta rosea Walker which is closely allied to the Chinese species 0. pulchripes Butler. 

 One genus of Drepaninae, Drepana Schrank, is represented both in China and the 

 Nearctic Region, but in contrast with Oreta the two Nearctic species of Drepana, 

 arcuata Walker (1855 : 164) and bilineata Packard (1864 : 376), apparently have 

 their closest relatives in Western Europe. However arcuata is not taxonomically 

 distant from curvatula Borkhausen, which is found not only in Western Europe but 

 also in the Oriental Region (including China) and the eastern limits of the Palae- 

 arctic Region.
