Anticrates rhodometra, new species 



Figures 354, 359, 364, 740-741 



Male, 17-18 mm. Head bright yellow, vertex and anterior edge 

 of collar orange crimson, orbits narrowly yellow. Palpus orange 

 crimson externally, yeUow internally, terminal segment also yellow 

 above. Thorax crunson tinged orange, collar posteriorly and a spot 

 at apex, yellow. Abdomen crimson, tinged orange. 



Forewing elongate oval, rather narrow, costa gently curved through- 

 out, apex rounded, termen gently convex, yellow, markings weU 

 defined, unicolorous, crimson tinged with orange. Costal 1/3 of wing 

 crimson from base to about the course of vein 8, suffused posteriorly, 

 on costa not reaching this vein; this area containing two spots of 

 yellow: first at 1/3, semioval, second twice as large, before 3/4 of costa, 

 obliquely oval (anterior end shifted downward); the crunson area 

 emitting from its lower edge (before 1/3 and hardly before 2/3 of wing 

 length) a parallel pair of crimson streaks, running inwardly to about 

 1/4 and 1/2 of dorsum, respectively, and another pair, running out- 

 wardly to the middle of dorsum and to tornus, respectively; extremities 

 of these streaks slightly extended, so as to separate two oval spots of 

 ground color, one at base, another just below center of wing, and 

 two subtriangular larger dorsal spots, before middle and before tornus 

 respectively; terminal area and apex yellow. Cilia crunson, posterior 

 half suffused yellow. 



Hindwing deep crimson, becoming semipellucent on basal half, 

 cilia crimson. 



Male genitalia: Of the usual Anticrates type. Differing from those 

 of earlier described digitosa as follows. Valva slightly broader, its 

 top more oblique and less rounded; anellus lobe more pointed. Uncus 

 more sclerotized, more abruptly dilated at base into a bulb. Sacculus 

 shorter, with a narrower but stronger top. Coremata normal. 

 Mensis ventralis Y-shaped, stalk long and straight, furcation flat 

 and distinct. 



Female genitalia: Sterigma little modified. Ostium bursae shaped 

 as a membranous vesicular cup. Ductus bursae long, upper half 

 with regularly punctulate wall, lower half simple, coUed once. Corpus 

 bursae deeply constricted beyond middle. Signa, two symmetrically 

 curved laminae dentatae.
