placed as a synonym of Mudaria by Holloway (1989), as follows:
"The type species of Mudaria, despite its uniformly pale forewing ground colour, agrees with Holloway's (1982: 229) characterisation of Plagideicta in forewing pattern elements and genitalic features.
"Holloway defined the genus on the following: a 'thyatirine' brewing pattern of pale leprous blotches on brown; a small tuft of straw-coloured scales or hairs on the anterior margin of some or all of tergites 4-7 in the male (not in the type species); bifid anterior margins to the male 8th tergite and sternite; a broad, often squarish uncus in the male genitalia; an arched harpe on the valves, bearing blunt spines; a broad aedeagus, with a basal sclerotised band in the vesica leading usually to a heavier band that is often spined or serrate; the vesica has a distal, massive cornutus; the female bursa is asymmetric, scobinate and corrugate, the scobination becoming coarser in one part of the bursa."
