MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF PHILIPPINE ISLANDS 53 



equidistant, curved, very irregular, blackish streaks, partially inter- 

 rupted, acutely angulate in fold, becoming brown in middle of disc, 

 obliterate towards dorsum; dark markings on costa alternating with 

 pairs of minute short black lines; transverse fascia oblique, from 

 middle of costa, moderately broad to upper edge of cell, thence 

 dilated into a transverse oval, resting on dorsum, its inner edge with 

 a deep oblique excision below, its outer edge with a small blunt tooth 

 below middle; this fascia darker green, in middle of disc suffused with 

 black, posterior half of costa with five brownish-gxeen wedge-shaped 

 marks, first of these narrow, last small, preapical; a big, rounded 

 preterminal spot, occupying the lower 3/4 of wing breadth, connected 

 by an oblique green striga with the narrow costal mark, by a down- 

 curved posterior branch with the middle of termen; lower extremity 

 of this patch elongate, resting in tornus; upper half of patch blackish, 

 lower green; a small irregular horizontal tooth originating from an- 

 terior edge of patch above its middle, but not reaching transverse 

 fascia, at its base cut by a white line; terminal edge with a blackish 

 line interrupted between veins, preceded by white. Cilia (imperfect) 

 pale green, along termen with a white line and a few white bars. 



Hindwing with vein 2 posteriorly curved upwards and approximated 

 to 3; dark fuscous bronze with slight prismatic reflections; a small 

 stiff crest of scales along posterior portion of vein 3 on the upper side, 

 continued so as to cross vein 2, anterior part of crest formed by very 

 fine modified hair-scales; tornus covered with modified short and very 

 thick glossy greenish-white scales. Ciha concolorous, around tornus 

 cilia absent. 



Male genitalia: Tegumen erect triangular, with rather narrow legs. 

 Uncus small, semioval. Gnathos arms slender, curved and pending, 

 tops porrect, clavate and bristly. Tuba anaUs distinct, long and 

 narrowed, sclerotized except at base which is narrowed and supported 

 by two curved bands (subscaphium) . Valva curved and very narrow; 

 sacculus triangular, top with a small cluster of short spines; harpe, a 

 longitudinal tumescence, clothed with hairs; cucullus part abruptly 

 dilated, bilobed, upper lobe rounded, covered with recumbent hairs, 

 especially dense along lower edge; lower lobe dilated and clavate, 

 covered with strong bristly spines, becoming short curved hooks along 

 edge. Transtilla slender, curved. Caulis long, dilated. Aedeagus 

 long, slender, strongly bent and sclerotized. 



Material examined: Luzon, Baguio, 1800 m, 2.VII.1945 (J. G. 

 Franclemont) , 1 d", holotype, genit. slide 5096 (GUI). Easily 

 recognizable by the characteristic genitalia. A novel member of the 

 fascinating group of pretty, greenish species.
