A revision of Dentimachus was provided by Kaur (1989), with emphasis on the Oriental fauna.
In the hind wing, the first abscissa of CU1 is equal in length to 1cu-a or either a little shorter or a little longer. This, together with the relatively large body size of the type species and the poorly developed notaulus probably influenced Townes (1957) to suggest a similarity to Perispuda.
There are no specimens currently determined for this OTU, or those specimens determined for this OTU are not yet mappable.
This work would not have been possible without the groundwork provided by Ian Gauld’s study of the Australian and Costa Rican faunas, and we are particularly grateful for his assistance in many aspects of this study. We also thank David Wahl for useful feedback throughout our study. Matt Yoder provided considerable assistance with databasing issues, and our use of PURLs (http://purl.oclc.org) in this regard follows the example of their use in publications by Norm Johnson. Heather Cummins, Karl Roeder, and Caitlin Nessner graciously assisted with formatting, and literature retrieval. This study was supported by the National Science Foundation’s PEET program under Grant No. DEB 0328922 and associated REU supplement nos DEB 0723663 and 0923134.
