Explanation of Names

Genus name means inguro-form, of course. This appears to refer to a genus of Noctuids, Ingura, now considered part of Paectes (Wikipedia--Ingura). Though unrelated, the typical posture of Paectes is similar to that of Inguromorpha.

Inguromorpha arcifera Dyar 1906
Inguromorpha basalis Walker 1856
