Diagnosis

This and Monocerotesa proximesta Holloway have a similar facies of punctate or broken dark brown fasciae on yellow. In minuta the hindwing postmedial and antemedial closely enclose the discal spot, whereas the former is well separated from it and more fragmented in Monocerotesa proximesta Holloway. The marginal bands are more clearly interrupted by a yellow bar centrally in minuta. The genitalic differences are as illustrated.
