Note: Diagnosis, based on Wang et al. (2015). The genus is unmistakable, characterized by the following characters: forewing cream or yellowish- white; outer margin angled at apex of M3 ; discal cell with a thin crescentic spot; outer and inner margins of fore and hindwings with short fringes. This species (moorei) can be distinguished from other Ernolatia species by submarginal line of forewing gray and broad with a slimsy wave, the intersection of costa and submarginal line with a black spot.
