The third species exhibits also the very special upturned hindwings but the size is noticeably larger, the color pattern is not chocolate brown and pink but plain dull brown and the male genitalia are no longer symmetrical but largely asymmetrical. For all these reasons we decided not to include it in the genus Boenasa and we describe a new genus below under the name Neoboenasa gen. n. to recall the specificity of the hindwings shape.	en	Laguerre, Michel (2024): Description of three new species and a new genus of Lithosiini from Dominican Republic (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae: Lithosiini).
