sisting of more or less conspicuous, strongly sinuous dark crosslines, lunulate or discoidal reniform stigma and variably strongly darkened marginal area. The hindwings are whitish- or ochreous-grey with strong(er) and wide dark marginal suffusion and usually weaker basal dark irroration, recognisable, although usually diffuse crossline and often with weak but visible discal spot. The brilliantly shining underside of both wings is ochreous or orange-ochreous with most often broad and dark marginal area, and with clearly visible discal spots; the hindwing discal spot may be reduced. The diagnostic features of the genitalia are the 1) long, slender, dorsally not cristate uncus; 2) long, narrow tegumen; 3) presence of falcate or bar-shaped penicular lobes (in two of the three subgroups, fully reduced in the subfusca line; it is a synapomorphy of the limbata and the libanotica groups); 4) sacculus narrow, sclerotised, extending distally towards apical section of valva; 5) basal (proximal) ampullar process ("editum") large, triangular or lobate, directed backwards to tegumen and most often surpassing costal margin of valva (autapomorphy of the species group); 6) sclerotised distal part of ampulla-harpe complex flattened, rounded or slightly bilobate with fine medial (medio-lateral) fold; symmetrical {limbata line) or variably strongly asymmetrical (luxuriosa line and certain species of the subfusca line); 7) aedeagus shortened, with sclerotised, rather beak- or wedge-shaped ventral plate of carina penis (autapomorphy of the species group); 8) vesica multidiverticulate, everted dorsally (or dorso-laterally)^ main part of vesica with largest diverticula recurved dorsad towards sinus penis; 9) ostium bursae with sclerotised plate and/or with drop-shaped or pendulous sclerotised dorsal appendix ("ligula"); 10) ductus bursae not or only partly sclerotised; 11) corpus bursae elliptical-ovoid; with well-developed, sclerotised, ribbon-like or falciform signum. The distinctive features of the three lineages are the presence or reduction of the peniculi and the dyssymmetrisation of the dorso-apical part of the ampulla-harpe complex. The limbata-, and the luxuriosa lines have penicular lobes, the peniculi are fully reduced in the species of the subfusca line. The distal sclerotised (erect) part of the ampulla-harpe complex of the limbata line is entirely symmetrical (or only slightly asymmetrical), those are conspicuously asymmetrical in the luxuriosa line. It is worth mentioning that all but one species of the subfusca line have also symmetrical or weakly asymmetrical distal processi, the only exception is A. laetifica (see the Figs 27-28). The female genitalia of the limbata and the luxuriosa lines can be distinguished by the structure of the proximal third of the ductus bursae: this part of the ductus is broader and more sclerotised in the species of the limbata line while the entire ductus of the members of the luxuriosa line is mainly membranous, with fine
