Myelois circumvoluta View in CoL (Geoffroy in Fourcroy, 1785)

Image ( Fig. 2i View FIGURE 2 ): The wingspan of the adults is 26mm. The forewings are broken white in color and have scattered black dot-like spots on it. The smaller ones of these spots are lined in a row at the base of wing fringes. The rear wings are white-greyish, and there are brown dots on the fringe edges.

Tympanal organ ( Figs. 3i View FIGURE 3 , 4i View FIGURE 4 ): Bulla tympani is closed and concave. Tympanum and conjunktivum are on the same plane. Tympanum has an oval shape and the spinula structure is prominent. There is a thorny rugae odontinae structure between the tympanum and fornix tympani. Tympanum is D-shaped while the conjunktivum has an oval shape. Fornix tympani is thin. The pons tympani is shaped like two needles. The processus spiniforme is shaped like a curved triangle. The tergo-sternal sclerite is long and curved. The zona glabra tympani is wide. The processus spiniforme is roof-shaped and curved.
