rowed in middle. Vinculum large, broadly rounded. Valv^a very 

 large, costa and cucullus portion membranous, making \\dde and 

 undulating folds (only partially expanded in mount) ; sacculus part 

 moderately broad, rigid, ending in a triangular lobe. Sacculus proper 

 narrow, dilated posterad, top sclerotized, subobtuse. Aedeagus with 

 a truncate top and a peculiar subapical denticulate and curved thorn. 

 Cornuti, a sheaf of some three very long spines. 



Female genitalia: Ostium and coUiculum together forming a long 

 simple funnel, with a moderately sclerotized, slightly wrinkled wall; 

 a slight, paler constriction indicating the connection of ostium with 

 coUiculum ; low^er extremity of this funnel obliterate in front. Ductus 

 bursae rather long, with two coils, with a very thin cestrum. Corpus 

 bursae inverted. Signum, an obliquely striped rather long dagger. 



The species is nearest to Archips spilotoma (Meyrick), new combina- 

 tion, from Celebes,

 costa to 3/4 of dorsum; upper half of this fascia forming a conspicuous 

 inverted-clavate mark, with a triangularly dilated base on costa and 

 a rounded top reaching middle of disc; this mark preceded by ill-
