Remarks

Schintlmeister (2013) included subgenera <i>Bireta</i>, <i>Cutuza</i> Kiriakoff, 1962, <i>Mangea</i> Kishida, 2004 and <i>Torona</i> Walker, 1856 in the genus <i>Bireta</i>. He also treated <i>Dypna</i> Kiriakoff, 1962 and <i>Torigea</i> Matsumura, 1934 as junior synonym of <i>Cutuza</i> and <i>Torona</i>, respectively. But each of these subgenera has distinct facies and male genital attributes from those of <i>Bireta</i>. Therefore, these subgenera have been revived to genera rank for stability of the classification (Kobayashi & Nonaka, 2016).
