Male genitalia (Text-fig. 87) : uncus subtriangular, united to the tegumen by a slightly sclerotized translucent area ; subunci long, curved, tapering towards the apex ; tegumen trapezoidal ; vinculum broad and prolonged to form a long saccus ; lower fultura tightly sheathing the base of the penis ; valves oblong and with rounded apices as in Epitola ; penis long, slightly curved, tapering gradually to its apex, and devoid of the dorsal expansions of Phytala and some species of Epitola ; uncus densely clothed with many long, fine hairs ; a few short hairs on the distal portion of the valves. The caterpillar and chrysalis of A. honorius have been described and figured by Eltringham (1922, Trans, ent. Soc. Lond. 1921 : 474, pi. 12, figs 16 and 17). The caterpillar bears on each segment four tubercles adorned with tufts of fine spines and long, delicate, branched hairs. The chrysalis bears dorsal and lateral tubercles furnished with recurved spines and chitinanths on its abdominal segments.
