Sorolopha semiculta
; Diakonoff 1973: 76, figs. 114, 121–123 (3, Ƥgenit.).
Diagnosis:
According to Diakonoff (1973), the male genitalia of this species belong to the
type
of
S. argyropa
, but it can be separated from the latter by the less robust socius with denser apical setae, the less angulate projection of the sacculus, the slenderer cucullus, and the shorter aedeagus.

Sorolopha plinthograpta
; Diakonoff 1973: 84, figs. 131–133 (Ƥ, 3 genit.).
Diagnosis:
This species resembles
S
.
semiculta
(Meyrick)
, but
S
.
plinthograpta
has a longer, slenderer tegumen, longer and narrower socii lacking apically modified setae (i.e., simple hairs throughout), and an obliquely truncate aedeagus. This species is similar to
S. autoberylla
(Meyrick)
and
S. plumboviridis
Diakonoff
in features of the male genitalia, but
S. plinthograpta
has denser setae on the socius; the sacculus has a smaller spine cluster on the angle; and the cucullus has very long setae beneath the ventral prominence.
Specimens examined:

5–6.VII.2003
