Figs 4 , 24

Arbela Campbelli Hampson, 1910 , Journ. Bombay Society 20: 97

Type locality: Madras, Horsleykonda [Horsley Hills, 13.651105 N / 78.403806 E].

Type material: holotype (female) in NHMUK, examined.

Material examined. Holotype (female), S. India, Horsleykonda , Campbell, 1908, 262 ( NHMUK, slide NHMUK: Coss- 260♀).

Redescription. We know only one specimen of this species (holotype, female). Length of fore wing 13 mm. On fore wing, reticulated pattern of wide light-brown spots and transverse thin light lines. Hind wing light-brown, with poorly expressed reticulated pattern. Fringe on all wings mottled, light between veins, brown at veins.

Female genitalia ( Fig. 24 ). Papillae anales conical, apically semicircular; apophyses anteriores and posteriores short, apophyses anteriores 3 times longer than apophyses posteriores; antrum sclerotized, narrow, funnel-like; ductus long, bursa absent on preparation.

Notes. The original description ( Hampson 1910: 97) contains two significant mistakes. Firstly, the holotype is a female, not a male, as indicated in the description. Secondly, there is a mistake in the name of the type habitat. Hampson gives a non-existent locality, “Madras. Horsleyhonda”, while on the geographical label of the holotype we clearly see “S[outhern]. India, Horsleykonda ” .
