Before the initial description of the tribe as the family Micronoctuidae in 2005, about 20 species were described in the families Arctiidae (now Arctiinae), Noctuidae, Nolidae (now Nolinae) and Pyralidae. The first species now referable to the tribe were named by Walker in 1863. Species of this tribe are rare in collections, possibly because most species are drably coloured (often a unicolorous brown, grey, or black) and are extremely small. Furthermore, lepidopterists specialising in macrolepidoptera ignore these species, thinking they belong to the microlepidoptera instead, while microlepidopterists collect them but usually classify them with unknown miscellaneous microlepidoptera.

The hindwings have on the reverse side a white spot usually in the shape of C. The sexual dimorphism is slight and concerns the intensity of the coloration, the silhouette and the size, the male having a wingspan of 22 to 24 mm. and the female of 25 to 26 mm. The seasonal dimorphism is more marked: the first generation ( hutchinsoni form, May-June) has the upperside fawn orange and the underside brown-gold and the hindwing bears distally a broad dark red-brown area in which is situated a row of light brown hastate spots, the underside is dark, being either unicolorous or prominently marmorated. , while the second generation (form c-album (July, in autumn and spring after overwintering) has a more reddish upper and dark brown underside (ground- colour is less bright).

Forewing pale yellow; markings the same as in Xanthia togata, but the cloud on costa beyond submarginal line, the costal end of the median shade, and the subbasal costal blotch prominently dark brown; the dark blotch at base of reniform with a pale centre; the fringe yellow; head and shoulders pale yellow; hindwing whitish; — flavescens Esp. is a unicolorous form in which all the brown lines and shading are absent, the lines and edges of the stigmata being sometimes represented by slender faint rufous lines, the lower end of the reniform stigma alone remaining deep brown and the fringes reddish brown; an intermediate form occurs in which the markings are pale reddish brown, either distinct or faint, and approaching; asiatica Hmps. from the Sir Daria, has more orange yellow forewings, with dark brown markings, the antemedian and postmedian costal patches absent; the fringe dark brown at tips.Seitz, A.

H. rostralis L. Forewing grey brown, sometimes the grey, at others the brown tints predominating, speckled and striated with black and mixed with pale grey; lines black, conversely ochreous-edged; the inner strongly dentate, the outer nearly straight, slightly projecting on each fold; costa with oblique dark striae; median area, and often the basal as well, darker, especially the cell; orbicular stigma a tuft of raised scales, black or black and white, connected by a long black line with an ill-defined black reniform: subterminal line pale, dentate, generally obscure, preceded by a brown shade; an oblique black shade from apex; a row of black terminal lunules; hindwing fuscous grey; the ab. radiatalis Hbn. is suffused with fuscous, the costal streak and a broad submarginal space remaining pale dull ochreous; termen with wedge shaped grey marks, confluent with the fuscous suffusion on the two folds ; the lines and stigmata feebly marked: — in ab. unicolor Tutt the forewing is uniformly grey brown, nearly all the black scaling being absent; — palpalis F. is also unicolorous, but dark grey without any brown tint; — vittatus Haw.

C. aurago F. (= praetexta Esp.) (24 h). Forewing yellow, deeper in female than male, the basal area greyish purple, limited by the wavy yellow inner line, and yellow itself at costa; terminal area beyond the yellow outer line greyish purple, traversed by an interrupted yellow subrnarginal line, sometimes swollen at apex; orbicular and reniform stigmata purplish, diffuse and ill-defined, the former round; traces of a curved median line; hindwing yellow, reddish towards termen; in rutilago F. (24 h) the ground colour is deep orange, with scarcely a trace of stigmata, the base of the basal area and the broader submarginal line also deep dull orange; — another form, quite as common apparently as the typical, has the yellow central area thickly mottled with orange, ab. marmorata ab. nov. (24 h) ; lutea Tutt is a rare form in which the whole forewing is pale yellow, with only the lines greyish-purple ; two other, more or less unicolorous, forms are found ; one in which the orange ground colour overpowers the purplish and spreads over the whole wing, ab.
