MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF PHILIPPINE ISLANDS 201 



Legs black, banded \nth white, posterior tibia ^vith a white median 

 and a narrow siibapical white band. Pectus and coxae brilliant green, 



Fore\\'ing broadly triangular, little ciu-ved anteriorly, slightly bent 

 and prominent well before apex, apex subobtuse, termen long, vertical, 

 little roimded. Dull fuscous. Thorax iridescent green, with narrow 

 longitudinal streaks from just beyond base, first just below costa, 

 thu'd just above dorsum; median streak short, wedge-shaped, in fold; 

 a rather thick transverse fascia at 1/3, iridescent green, slightly out- 

 wards convex and gently inwardly obUque, from just below costa to 

 dorsum; followed by a gently downwards-diverging, slightly broader, 

 pale, prismatic-greenish fascia before middle; this fascia running from 

 costa to dorsum, slightly narrowed in middle, with upper and lower 

 extremities rounded; a marginal fascia of the same color, from apex 

 to tornus, with a short subcostal appendix from apex; lower end of 

 this fascia acutely narrowed; a subtriangular spot of same color in 

 tornus, a roundish dot on end of cell, a few scales strewn between 

 these spots; posterior half of wing coarsely strewn with white; an 

 elongate semioval white spot at 3/4 of disc above middle, suffused 

 posteriorly; a triangular patch almost adjacent to median metallic 

 fascia below fold, reaching to dorsum, upper end extended as a slender, 

 attenuated fascia across lower 2/3 of \ving. Cilia dark grey with a 

 black basal and median Hne. 



Hindwing dark fuscous brown with a purplish gloss tow^ards dorsmn, 

 wdth a narrow pale streak along low^er edge of cell and pale costa. 

 Ciha whitish mixed with grey, basal half dark fuscous with a narrow 

 pale basal line, obUterate tow^ards tornus. 



Material examined: "Philippines. Mt. Makihng, B., .37" (in 

 Meyrick's hand), *'Tortyra centrifuga Meyr.,'^4/3, E. Meyrick det. 

 in Meyrick Coll.," 1 9, holotype, genit. slide 5772. 



The species is aUied Avith T. centrifuga Meyrick, from Assam, but 

 different by the following points. Fore wing broader, metalHc area 

 larger, a broad band along termen and a triangle on end of dorsum, 

 w^hile in centrifuga there is only a short, in middle narrow^ed streak 

 from apex to below' middle of termen, and a few scattered metaUic 

 scales. In the present species the white coloring in disc is more 

 extended, the dots are broader and denser; the first and second trans- 

 verse fasciae are broader and straight in macrospila, while in centrifuga 

 they are narrow^ and the first fascia is almost interrupted in middle.
