Genus KOP ELATES H. H. Druce 



Kopelates H. H. Druce, 1891, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (6) 7 : 364. Type-species : Kopelates 



virgata H. H. Druce, by original designation. 

 Deudorix Hewitson (partim) ; Aurivillius, 1898 : 307 ; 923 : 366. 



Eyes shortly and densely pilose ; palpi protruding only slightly beyond the frons, second 

 segment long and robust, clothed below with white adpressed scales, third segment slender, 

 acuminate ; antennae long, slender, white annulated, with an elongate fusiform club ; legs 

 black and white annulated, <£ fore tarsus unsegmented. 



Wing shape : fore wing inner margin with a slight lobe near its base. Male secondary sexual 

 characters : on the underside of fore wing there is a patch of modified scales at the base between 

 vein 1 and the lower edge of the cell, and on the inner margin a brush of adpressed brown hairs 

 directed towards the above patch ; on the upperside of the hind wing there is a very small 

 creamy white spot, with yellowish centre, near the origin of vein 8. 



Wing venation (Text-fig. 278). Fore wing with n veins ; 10 free, from the upper edge of the 

 cell ; 11, to a great extent, confluent with 12. 



Male genitalia (Text-fig. 95). Very similar to those of Actis perigrapha Karsch, except that 

 the uncal lobes are not so prominent and the hind margin of the tegumen between them has 

 only a very shallow median depression. 



The genus Kopelates differs from the genus Actis only by the confluence of veins 

 11 and 12 in the fore wing.
