Name

Costria Schaus, 1892 (*or 1901)

Type species: Costria abnoba Schaus, 1892

Note:* Costria Schaus, 1892: 327 was not presented as gen. nov. (unlike others in work) but appears to be nomenclatorally available. The use of a novel generic name may have been inadvertent, i.e. intending to use another such as Cossula Bailey, (1882). Later Costria was presented explicitly as "Costria gen. nov." in Schaus, 1901: 42
