Aquita Walker

Type species: horridella Walker (= tactalis Walker), Australia.

Synonym: Zia Walker (type species tactalis).

This genus should probably only include the type species, which has rather elongate, longitudinally streaky black, grey and white forewings, male genitalia with a sequence of processes running ventrally from the valve costa, and female genitalia with a long, slender bursa that lacks signa. Two Bornean species were originally assigned to the genus. One is transferred to Barasa Walker. The other is described below with a related new species, but both are definitely misplaced in Aquita.
