Diagnosis
Diagnosis. This genus is superficially similar to Thecobathra Meyrick, 1922, which also has a silvery white body and forewings, but differs from the latter in having a dark brown costal streak in forewing. The male genitalia of Eucalantica are distinguished from those of Thecobathra in having three or four spines on socii (none or one spine in the latter) and a lack of dentiform projections on phallus (present in the latter). The female S8 is entirely or almost entirely sclerotized in Eucalantica, but not in Thecobathra. The female genitalia of those two genera are also different in the shape of the signum, if present: keel-like or discoid plate in Eucalantica, cruciform in Thecobathra.
Description
Description. When resting, Eucalantica moths lay their body parallel to the substrate with their forelegs extended forward (Fig. 5).
