Wing venation drawings of male specimens of A. Aphilopota tyttha (Prout) comb. nov.; B. Aphilopota interpellans (Butler), and C. Nychiodes obscuraria (Villers). In the forewing of A. tyttha and A. interpellans vein R2 is fused with R1 (rectangle A1), vein R1 and R2 share a common stalk in N. obscuraria (rectangle C1). Remark: as in the genus Nychiodes, the veins R1 and R2 are on a common stalk. This suggests that the veins R1 + R2 are fused to one vein in the genus Aphilopota; therefore, here we name this vein R1+R2.
