PADRAONA 
Genus PADRAONA Moore. 
Le^^Moptera of Ceylon, i, p. 170, 1881. 
Antennae about, twotliirds tlio lengtli of costa: club moderate and distinct with aniciilus 
and pointed (Fig. AO 2, 3, 4). Palpi with third joint long-, slender and erect or subercct (Fig. APal 
PoreAving- Avith vein 5 nearer to A'oin 4 than to Aoin (i: vein 3 niueh nearer to vein 4 than to vein 
2: vein 2 slightly nearer to vein 4 than to base of Aviug: male Avilh or Avithont a diseal se.\mn-k 
IlmdAVing Avith termen sometimes slightly concave betAveen vein la and A-ein 2. ‘ ' 
Type. Padraona dara Kollar, from northern India. 
Foodplaxt. Imperata. Cynodon. 
The long slender palpi distinguish this from all other Australian genera except: Taractrocera nn 
trom that genus it is separated by the Avidely different antennae. Atlinity with Taractrocera is'in- 
tiicated by lascivitx and Avith Ceplireues uud Telicota by mciruus and ciffluis. 
As defined by 
Padraona in having 
included flavovittata^ 
Telicota, overlooking 
us Padraona includes the genus Ocijhadistes Heron, which diffei-s from tvpical 
a straight discal sexmark and a broader foreiving: Ocybadktes Avould' have 
sunias, mamas and affinis. Ehves and Edivards merge Padraona in the -^enus 
Its Avidely divergent palpi, and the different venation of the male 
We cannot recog-uise P. snborMcularis Mabille (Genera Insectorum 1904, p. 141) desci-ibed from n 
single defective example from Australia; nor Ocybadistes sufmus .Mabille described on pao-e 149 of 
same Avork: both are probably synonjous of Avell knoAvn Australian species. “
