2. Sorolopha archimedias ( Meyrick, 1912)

Diagnosis. This species is superficially similar to members of Eudemopsis Falkovitch , especially E. purpurissatana ( Kennel, 1901) , but it can be separated easily from them by the absence of the curved apical spines of the socius and by the narrower valva in male genitalia.
