 Subgroup III, PULCHKIVENTER 



Definition.— Oriental Basistyle with a scale tuft. Claspette fila- 

 ment bladelike. Male palpi with hairs apically on III, and along 

 IV and V. Female tori scaled. Vertex dorsum mostly narrow 

 scaled. Ppn with all broad scales. Postspiracular and paratergite 



areas scaled. 



Supplementary characters.— Scutum largely covered with golden 

 scales. Scutellar scales narrow. Subspiracular and prealar areas 

 scaled. Femoral knee spots present. Larval head hairs 5, 6, and 7 

 in a convex row toward front, 4 slightly posterior and internal to 5, 

 all with several branches. Comb scales numerous, in a patch. Larval 

 habitat : rock pools in stream beds. 



Included species. — A. pulchriventer (Giles). 



Subgroup IV, OREOPHILUS 



Definition.— Ovi&ntd,]. Basistyle without a scale tuft. Claspette 

 filament bladelike. Male palpi with rather sparse hairs apically on 

 III and along IV and V. Female tori not scaled. Vertex dorsum 

 with narrow scaling. Ppn scales nearly all broad and flat. Post- 

 spiracular area not scaled. Paratergite scaled. 



SupplcTnentary characters.— Scutum in female with pale scales ar- 

 ranged in lines, in male entirely covered with pale scales. Scutellar 

 scales narrow. Subspiracular and prealar areas scaled. Femoral 

 knee spots present. Larval head hairs 4, 6, and 7 in a transverse row 

 that is slightly posterior to antennal bases, hair 5 some distance pos- 

 terior to 6. Median mouthbrush hairs with comblike apices. Comb 

 scales numerous, in a patch. Larval habitat: tree holes. 



Included, spec'tes. — A. orcophiJm (Edwards).

 scales narrow. Ppn with scales on upper part narrow. Postspi- 

 racular and prealar areas scaled. Larval head hairs, 4, (5, and 7 in a 

 transverse row slightly posterior to antennal bases, 5 slightly internal

 few teeth in an irregular row. Larval habitat : tree holes. 



InMuded species. — A. suffusus Edwards. 



Subgroup VI, GENICULATUS (PROTOMACLEAYA, s. str.) 



Defvnition.—Va\Q.eaYct\c and Nearctic. Basistyle without a spe-
