Type genus:
Kamendaka Distant, 1906.
Introduction
This mainly oriental tribe was created by Emeljanov (1994) to include the single genus Kamendaka Distant. Species of this genus differ from the Rhotanini, to which they otherwise have affinity, by the absence of sensory pits along the basal section of vein CuA in the forewing. Only two species are known in Australia, both restricted to the eastern coastline of Queensland.
Diagnosis
Branches of CuA of forewings apically fused. Jugal margin of hindwings with stridulatory plate. Hindwings well developed, usually broad and reaching well beyond half length of forewings. Clavus closed apically. Stem of CuA on forewings lacking sensory pits.
