connection to basal plate of harpe; sacculus shorter, without sclerotized process; harpe situated more proximally, triangular-acute or flattened, apically tapering. - clasping apparatus of Xylocampa: uncus shorter, medially dilated; cucullus larger, helmet-like; corona stronger; pollex-like extension connected to basal plate of harpe; sacculus longer, stronger, with large, triangular sclerotized process at middle; harpe situated more distally, flattened, apically dilated. - aedeagus and vesica of Speidelia: carina with large or very large dorsal or dorso-lateral, heavily sclerotized, serrate crest which may continued in long, narrow, serrate bar extending into basal third of vesica; vesica long, tubular, usually fully recurved, without diverticula; cornuti field large, more or less homogeneous, covering large part of outer curve, only the size of cornuti increasing towards distal end; terminal cornutus situated oppositely (on inner curve), rather small in size, its base wide, flat, process short, acute. - aedeagus and vesica of Xylocampa: carina without heavily sclerotized crest but with two lateral, dentate laminae; vesica shortened, partly recurved, with conical medial diverticulum; cornuti arranged into distinct fields; terminal cornutus larger, flattened. The female genitalia of Speidelia can be characterized by the long, flattened, sclerotized, posteriorly folded ductus bursae, the usually more or less horseshoe-shaped bursa consisting of smaller, broadly tubular, arcuate or slightly twisted, membranous cervix bursae, often having stronger terminal sclerotization Fig. 15.
