Nudaria is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae, erected by Adrian Hardy Haworth in 1809.[1]

Description

[edit]

Palpi are minute and porrect (extending forward). Antennae have a large, swollen basal joint. Tibiae bear short spurs. Forewings possess a long cell; veins 9 and 11 are present. In males, vein 5 often arises from the middle of the discocellulars but is curved if present. Hindwings feature vein 3 arising from before the angle of the cell, vein 5 from above the angle, veins 6 and 7 on a long stalk, and vein 8 from near the end of the cell.[2]
