Cretonia vegetus Swinhoe

The male genitalia are distinguished by presence of a short spine about two‑thirds of the way along the costal part of the valve; this terminates in an acute angle directed somewhat dorsally.

The cucullar apex is relatively broad.

The tegumen on each side bears a robust, upcurved spine just dorsal to its junction with the vinculum.

The juxta is extended dorsally on each side by a slender pair of processes.

The aedeagus vesica has a large cornutus arising dorsally, subbasally from the vesica.

Females (slides 21110, 21111, 21150) have the ductus bursae grading imperceptibly into the corpus bursae, with a distinctive, teat‑like sclerite centrally.

The species occurs in India and Burma.
