Enispodes Warren

Type species: purpurea Hampson.

This monobasic genus has a distinctive facies as described in the species account below. The forewing has its distal margin with a weak central angle, with the sections on each side straight rather than concave as in some Enispa. The apex is just on the acute side of being right-angled. The labial palps are upcurved, appressed to the head, reaching to level with the top; the curved second segment is long, slender, but the third is very short. The antennal scape and pedicel are densely scaled with an internal tuft; the male flagellum is ciliate, but more narrowly so than in typical Enispa.

The male abdomen has the eighth segment of the framed corematous type but only weakly sclerotised. The genitalia have the uncus strongly flexed subbasally, then straight except for a slight hook at the apex. The juxta is broad, semicircular. The valves are short, slightly bifid apically. The sacculi are broad, appressed centrally, and with an angle to their dorsal margins.

No females have been located.
