Abstract:
The monotypic Metrica new genus is described for Metrica kuschea (Guedet, 1939) new combination. The genus is placed in the tribe Ennomini Duponchel and hypothesized to be most closely related to a Neotropical species of Isochromodes Warren. Adult morphology, including male and female genitalia are illustrated, and molecular data supporting the transfer of Semiothisa kuschea (Macariini Guene) to the Ennomini are presented.
