15. Sorolopha semiculta ( Meyrick, 1909) View in CoL

Argyroploce semiculta Meyrick, 1909: 604 View in CoL (3, Ƥ, Ceylon).

Argyroploce heteraspis Meyrick, 1936: 614 View in CoL (Ƥ, Formosa).

Olethreutes semiculta: Clarke, 1958: 547 , plate 272, figs. 3-3a, 4-4c (lectotype designation, heteraspis View in CoL syn.; wings, 3 genit.).

Sorolopha semiculta: Diakonoff, 1973: 76 View in CoL , figs. 114, 121-123 (3, Ƥ genit.).

Diagnosis. This species is very similar to S. argyropa Diakonoff, 1973 in male genitalia. According to Diakonoff (1973), it can be separated from the latter species by the socius with less robust and denser apical bristles, the valva with the angulation of the sacculus less projected, the smaller spine cluster on the angulation, and the shorter aedeagus.
