Acidaliodes Hampson Type species: perstriata Hampson, Sri Lanka. The male antennae are ciliated. The labial palps are porrect, reaching the vertex of the head, but the third segment is very short. The forewing radial system, illustrated by Hampson (1910), has (R1(R2(R3,R4))) stalked, with R5 independent. Rs and M1 are stalked on the hindwing. The facies is generally as in Araeopteron species. Only the type species, that from Borneo described below, and melasticta Hampson (New Guinea) occur in the Old World, but Poole (1989) listed 13 species from the Neotropics. |
