Diagnosis

The genus Balera can be distinguished by the following combination of characters: forewing with appendix not extending around wing apex; hindwing with submarginal vein distinct and free from apical wing margin; male sternal abdominal apodemes slender and elongate, usually capitate apically; pygofer produced posteriorly, occasionally forming an apical process; subgenital plates with single or double row of weak macrosetae; style sigmoid in lateral aspect; connective V or Y-shaped or triangular; aedeagus shaft with one or two pairs of apical or anteapical processes.

Key to males of Balera (modified from Coelho et al. 2013[1] to include the new species)
