Volynkin, Anton V. & Černý, Karel, 2025, On the taxonomy of the Brunia Moore generic complex with the description of a new genus, a new subgenus and four new species (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae: Lithosiini: Lithosiina), Ecologica Montenegrina 87, pp. 46-76 : 50

The Brunia (Brunikatha) apicalis species-group

The male genitalia of the species-group ( Figs 56 , 57 ) are characterised by the presence of the distal carinal process and the short sacculus with a proximally dilated distal process. In the female genitalia ( Figs 91, 92 ), the appendix bursae is situated latero-posteriorly on the right side.

Note. The taxonomy of the group is under revision by Volynkin & Černý (in prep.).
