Diagnosis

See under L. pudibunda above for distinction of cuneigera and allies. The holotype male of lutaroides has genitalia that match those of the Bornean male (slide 5329) collected by A.R. Wallace. The original description refers to a male, but the specimen labelled as the type of cuneigera in BMNH is female (slide 5318), following Hampson (1900). The male genitalia have the saccular process with a distinctive ‘ball and spur’ apex, and the aedeagus vesica bears two large cornutus spines. The female has sclerotised disc-like pads on either side of the seventh segment. In Balinese specimens the apical part of the male saccular process is more complex, and the female has double pads on each side of the seventh segment (slides 5351, 5360).
