The RU FILINEARI A-Group 



Characterized externally in both sexes by the brightly marked orange-red and 

 dark grey non-hyaline terminal area of the wings. 



In the male genitalia both uncus and ventral plate of gnathus are asymmetrical. 

 Uncus with a pair of large lateral, membranous and setose lobes; apex of uncus 

 strongly sclerotized and rounded dorsally; ventral surface of apex with lobe or 

 ridge inclined to the right. Ventral plate of gnathus strongly sclerotized, tip 

 rounded and inclined to right side. Valves symmetrical. Aedeagus with tapered, 

 blade-like projection from apical fourth. Fulcrum broad and short, shorter than 

 one-half length of aedeagus. Vesica without cornutus. 



The male hind tibia is simple. 



In the female genitalia the sterigma and ductus bursae are strongly sclerotized. 



The sole included species, rufilinearia Swinhoe, is apparently without any close 

 relative in the genus; placed near euphrosyne because of similarity of uncus with 

 its lateral, setose lobes and similarity of fulcrum.
