MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF PHILIPPINE ISLANDS 245 



yellow strigula towards top of costal spot, second mark much larger 

 than in the present species, traversed by two crimson lines. Hindwing 

 in A. tridelta is light pink. The greatest difference is the genitalia: 

 in tridelta the uncus is pointed and sclerotized and the valva is oblique 

 and pointed. 



The specimen of A. tridelta Meyrick compared is from: Khasis, 

 Shillong, 10.IV.1928 (T.B. Fletcher) (BM), genit. slide 5751 cf.

Figures 357-358, 362-363, 738 



Male, 12.5 mm .Head light yellow, a suffused band between bases 

 of antennae and collar Avith the posterior edge of tuft on vertex 

 crimson. Antenna pinkish, light yellow above, scape light yellow. 

 Palpus rather long and slender, crimson, terminal segment with base 

 and upper edge light yellow. Thorax crimson, apex yellow, patagium 

 and tegula yellow, red edged. Abdomen crimson, tip paler. 



Fore^ATng elongate oval, costa slightly curved, apex obtuse, termen 

 rounded and very oblique. Light yellow, with crimson reticulation. 

 A darker streak along costa to beyond middle, thence running just 

 below costa and concave above, to before apex (end of vein 8); an 

 inwards-oblique, equally dark streak from end of preceding along vein 

 8, thence along closing vein to lower angle of cell, furcate there and 

 running to 2/5 of dorsum, dilated on dorsum, thence along dorsum to 

 base of wing; the other branch along vein 2 to tornus, less dilated; 

 a second transverse streak almost parallel to preceding, from before 

 middle of costa to 1/5 of dorsum, rather narrow to fold, thick thence 

 Avith a slender branch from fold to preceding transverse streak above 

 its end; second transverse streak also emitting two almost horizontal 

 lines to base, from 1/3 and 2/3, respectively; intersections of streaks 

 being dilated, spots of ground color appear oval; a crimson line along 

 upper edge of cell, two Hi-defined pink-orange horizontal streaks in 

 center of disc, not connected with other; all veins beyond and above 

 cell streaked with pink orange; these streaks rather broad, clavate 

 posteriorly, not reaching wing margin; a pink line from base of vein 4 

 to end of fold; streaks along veins above cell rather merged into a 

 crimson suffusion. Cilia pink. 



Hindwing semipellucent, rather bright pink, denser suffused with 

 pink towards margin, especially towards apex and tornus; veins deeper 

 pink. Cilia pink with a whitish basal line. 



Male genitalia: Tegumen erected-suboval. Uncus shorter than 

 tegumen, moderately curved. Vinculum small; saccus slender, 

 moderate. Valva oblong-suboval, dilated, broadest beyond middle. 

 Aedeagus straight, moderate, gently attenuated. Coremata, slender 

 pencils.
