Arctornis galene Toxopeus comb. n.
Redoa galene Toxopeus, 1948: 460.
Redoa galene Toxopeus; Mackey, 1984: 9.
Diagnosis
The facies is much as in prasioneura except the frons is broadly rufous in a square from the level of the antennae to just below the top of the compound eyes. The palps are yellow (paler ventrally) with a few brownish scales at the apex. The legs are spotted as in prasioneura but more strongly so. In the male genitalia, the uncus is triangular as in ungula though less narrowed apically and lacking the pair of pockets. The valve apex is rather square. The harpe is evenly and gently downcurved, somewhat expanded subbasally on the ventral margin, and tapering to a point near the very apex. It is extensively scobinate along its ventral half.
