Orthodes Guenée. The six species provisionally associated with Orthodes were included in Polia Ochsenheimer in Franclemont and Todd (1983). They were excluded from Polia by McCabe (1980), but apparently too late for the 1983 check list. They are included tentatively in Orthodes Guenée following the lead of Poole (1989) and earlier suggestions of affinities by McCabe (1980). They do not belong in Orthodes but no better placement could be found at this time. Orthodes detracta, O. noverca, and O. delecta may represent a single species.
