Serrodes  generic group

The three genera included here share general similarity of facies, particularly the presence and disposition of blocks of black on the forewing. The valves of the male genitalia are very much simpler than in tribes treated previously, usually with a process at the ventral margin from the apex of the sacculus and, more rarely, one costally or distally. The juxta is typical of the core catocalines, as is the aedeagus vesica. In the female, the ostium is associated more with the eighth segment than the seventh, though the sternite of the latter is vestigial. The larva is of the ophiusine type, and a pupal bloom has been noted in a species of Avatha Walker, but not in Serrodes or Anereuthina Hübner.

Host plants in Serrodes and Avatha are predominantly from the Sapindaceae, but Anereuthina larvae are palm-feeders.
