Taxonomic Note

Addition of Homodes crocea Guenée to the sample of Erebidae for molecular analysis being studied by Zahiri et al. (in preparation) showed this to be placed clearly within the boletobiine clade of Zahiri et al. (2011), though with no strong association within the clade. Homodes Guenée is therefore transferred from the third miscellaneous sequence of Parts 15 & 16 into the miscellaneous sequence listed at the end of the Saroba group of genera pending further investigation of affinities within the boletobiine clade. The male genitalia have valves that show some similarity in structure to those of Corgatha Walker.
