Craspedosada Holloway^{gen. n.}

Type species: longipalpis Swinhoe.

This genus is monobasic. Its only species was described tentatively in Pseudcraspedia Hampson (as Pseudocraspedia; see Nye (1975)), currently treated as a synonym of the New World genus Sigela Hulst (see p. 79 and below). Warren (1913, Gross -Schmett, Erde, 11: 251) included the species in the New World genus Lycaugesia Dognin, but indicated that it was definitely misplaced there too. Poole (1989) listed it in that combination. Nye (1975) clarified confusion over usage of this generic name, with the concept of Dognin (type species fuscifascia Dognin, French Guiana) having priority over that of Hampson (type species hypozonata Hampson, Panama), for which Nye provided the new name *Quandara *Nye, also placed as a synonym of Sigela and assigned to the Araeopteroninae by Fibiger & Lafontaine (2005). The species longipalpis has more in common with the genera Arasada and Hyposada, but is sufficiently distinct to merit a separate genus as suggested by Warren ( loc. cit.), and thus to be rescued from the confusion described above!

The facies is as described below; it lacks the strong hindwing postmedial fascia seen in Arasada and Hyposada, and the forewings are more rounded apically.

The male genitalia have valves of the same basal plan as in Arasada and Hyposada: the massive, fused saccular and costal processes with a much reduced cucullus exterior to them, here more closely associated with the costal process. The costa has a conspicuous slender sinuous spine upturned from its basal extremity. The uncus is long, slender, square-ended. The saccus is very large. The aedeagus and vesica are closer to those of Arasada, but the aedeagus has an apical swelling with one large, square tooth and a few much smaller ones.

The female genitalia have a very short sclerotised antrum to the ductus bursae, flanked by a pair of small, narrow, sclerotised pockets. The rest of the ductus bursae has a large sclerotised bulge on one side immediately distal to the antrum, then a short, unsclerotised neck prior to the junction with the corpus bursae which is narrow and over twice as long as the ductus. The corpus bursae has a slight twist at one third; the distal two-thirds are slightly rugose, with some longitudinal corrugation.
