Chloroplaga Hampson
Type
species: nygmia Swinhoe, Singapore.
The facies is distinctive, the forewing with a hook-like green mark medially
on a variegated fawn or grey brown ground, and the hindwing dull yellow with
wavy dark greyish brown fasciae and border.
In
the male abdomen, the eighth segment and the genitalia are similar to those of
Clethrophora, though the former lacks coremata and the latter have a more
expanded distal part of the valve, and there is a subbasal process on its costa.
In
the female, the ovipositor lobes are as in Clethrophora but the ductus
though slender, is not as long, and the bursa is more pyriform and only very
slightly scobinate throughout.
The genus contains the species discussed below.
