similar coloring and markings (the outer edge of transverse band is 

 gently excised above middle, the preterminal patch is quite circular, 

 the subbasal dorsal spot is narrowly wedge-shaped in the type specimen 

 of purpurissatana) , and that " Argyroploce" archimedias Meyrick is 

 not a synonym. 



The identity of Kennel's species has recently been ascertained by 

 Falkovitch, who transferred it into the new genus Eudemopsis. The 

 present author was able to check this identification due to the kindness 

 of Dr. Hannemann of the Berlin Museum, who sent me Kennel's 

 type specimen for closer study.
