Maliattha
Maliattha is a genus of moths in the family Noctuidae, subfamily Eustrotiinae, established by Francis Walker in 1863. The genus is characterized by distinctive morphological features including upturned palpi that reach above the vertex of the head, with the second joint bearing long hair below and the third joint prominent. Males possess minutely ciliated antennae. The thorax is roughly scaled but lacks tufts, while the abdomen has strong dorsal tufts and is shorter than the hindwings. The narrow forewings and stalked veins 3 and 4 on the hindwings are additional diagnostic features. Larvae possess four pairs of abdominal prolegs.
