Caradrina Explained

Caradrina is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae, erected by Ferdinand Ochsenheimer in 1816 and divided into eight subgenera.^[1] These include Paradrina and Platyperigea, which some authors treat as separate genera. By 1989, it comprised 189 described species.^[2]

Description

The moths' eyes are naked and without lashes. Their proboscises are well developed and palpi upturned, the second joints evenly clothed with hair. Thoraces and abdomens are tuftless, tibiae spineless and ciliae non-crenulate.^[3]
