Four monotypic genera of the tribe Siculodini are revised and adults and their genitalia illustrated for both sexes. Hepialodes Guenée, 1858, Iza Walker, 1865 and Loxiorhiza Warren, 1904 were originally described to include only one species each and they have not been subject to taxonomic revision since that time. From our study, Meskea Grote, 1877, previously with two species, becomes the monobasic Meskea horror Dyar, 1913 syn. nov. of Meskea dyspteraria Grote, 1877. These genera occur in South America, and of these only Meskea extends to the southern North America. Lectotypes are designated for Hepialodes follicula Guenée, 1858, Siculodes nubecula Guenée, 1858 and Zeuzerodes (Siculodes) cervinalis Pagenstecher, 1892.
修订了四个单种属的 Siculodini 族,并对雌雄两性成虫及其生殖器进行了图示说明。Hepialodes Guenée, 1858、Iza Walker, 1865 和 Loxiorhiza Warren, 1904 最初被描述为每个属只包含一个种,自那时以来,它们一直没有经过分类修订。根据我们的研究,Meskea Grote, 1877,以前有两个种,现在成为单种属 Meskea horror Dyar, 1913 syn. nov. of Meskea dyspteraria Grote, 1877。这些属分布于南美洲,其中只有 Meskea 延伸到北美南部。为 Hepialodes follicula Guenée, 1858、Siculodes nubecula Guenée, 1858 和 Zeuzerodes (Siculodes) cervinalis Pagenstecher, 1892 指定了模式标本。
