Hi,
sorry for misidentification. Homoneura has one pair of vibrisae and long peristomals. Scoliocentra has not long peristomals, but some species (for example S. brachypterna) has two pair of vibrisae. Sometimes it is very simillar for me. When I have a specimen, it is not a problem, but only from the picture...
Two species belong to the serrata group: serrata and captiosa. Mail terminalia is only reliable character.
