Synegia

''Synegia'' is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. It was described by Achille Guenée in 1857.

Description

Palpi obliquely porrect (extending forward), roughly scaled and reaching beyond the frons. Hind tibia not dilated. Forewings with vein 3 from near angle of cell. Vein 7, 8 and 9 stalked from near upper angle. Veins 10 and 11 stalked, connected or anastomosing (fusing) with vein 12, and vein 10 connected or anastomosing with veins 8 and 9.

Most species in the genus have pale yellow or brownish wings banded and speckled with reddish gray. Many species have the fasciae marked by black dots. The similar dots also occur at the disc and margins of most species, though the type species ('' Synegia botydaria'' (Guenée, 1858)) has no black markings at all. Some have more extensive black or brownish-gray clouding, and this can vary within a species. The body is delicate, legs and abdomen in males often elongate. The male antennae can be filiform (thread-like) or bipectinate (feather-like).
