Metallolophia. Warren, Novit. Zool. Vol. 2. p. 88 (1895). 
Characters. — Face scarcely protuberant, densely but smoothly scaled. Palpus moderate, 
second joint rather long-scaled beneath, third joint in c short, blunt, in Q moderate or longish. 
"Tongue developed. Antenna rather long; in cf lamellate, the lamella: sometimes with slight lateral 
prolongation, in Q almost simple. Pectus densely hairy. Femora apparently nearly glabrous in type 
species, moderately hairy in some cases. Hindtibia in c not dilated, in both sexes with all spurs present. 
Metathorax not appreciably crested. Abdomen with minute pair of crests on second segment, stronger 
crests on third and fourth, all metallic-coloured in type species. Frenulum fully developed. Forewing 
with costa rather straight, apex moderate or pronounced, termen somewhat crenulate, strongly oblique 
(especially in the c of type species), cell nearly one-half, discocellulars forming a continuous curve, 
not appreciably angled at R?, SC! free, SC* normal, R! separate, R? from slightly above middle of 
DC, M!separate; hindwing with apex rounded, termen convex, somewhat crenulate in type species, 
inner margin long (very long in type species), cell at least two-fifths, discocellars rather variable, either 
separately or continuously curved, DC? never so oblique as in typical ZEolochroma, C approximated to 
cell to less than one-half, then very strongly divergent, SC? separate, M! separate. 
Early stages unknown. 
"This small group of evident allies presents no very salient structural features, so far as has yet 
been discovered, and might possibly be united with the preceding genus as another section thereof. In 
some respects it seems intermediate between that genus and Terfza. Unfortunately we have only had 
access to very meagre material, and largely in inferior condition. The metallic crests are not of generic 
value, being apparently absent in all but the type species, while on the other hand they are shown in 
one species of Aolochroma (subrubella). The narrower forewing and longer inner- margin of hindwing give 
to the cg of the type species a distinctive shape, but the difference of shape is less marked in the rest, 
though the inner margin of hindwing seems always relatively longer than in ZEolochroma.
