Material examined: Luzon, Mt. Makiling (Baker), 1 cf , holotype,

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 throughout,
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 outwardly
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.
bursae deeply constricted beyond middle.
curved laminae dentatae.
Corpus
Signa, two symmetrically
