Auzeinae

The male genitalia are robust, the uncus usually entire, the saccus well developed. When ornamentation occurs on the valve, it tends to arise from the costal margin. The signum of the female tends to be of the double banded type with spines directed away from the common axis.

Only two references to the early stages have been located, in Decetia Walker as described below, and for Pseudhyria rubra Hampson in India (Bell, MS). The host records are from the family Olacaceae, with P. rubra feeding on Cansjera in the related Opiliaceae (Mabberley, 1987; Corner, 1988).

All described genera are from the Oriental tropics, some extending east into the Australasian tropics. Minet (1994[5]) referred to an undescribed Afrotropical representative and also noted the association with Olacaceae. The few captures of Bornean taxa in recent surveys have been predominantly from lowland forest on limestone.
