MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF PHILIPPINE ISLANDS 205 



fascia, from 2/3 of costa, upper half gently and regularly curved, out- 

 wards-convex, lower half straight, sharply twice rectangularly bent at 

 2/3; finally a gradually sinuate, moderately broad preterminal fascia, 

 from apex to tornus, outwards concave above, convex beneath; spaces 

 between lines in middle of wing slightly touched with pale purplish 

 pink, so is the "ocellus" on end of cell, being a vertical erect-suboval 

 pale spot, followed by a few fuscous marks, space beyond ultimate 

 transverse fascia partly mbced with dark fuscous on lower half. Cilia 

 ochreous, along costa and opposite apex and middle of termen, suffused 

 with black throughout, basal third black. 



Hmdmng fuscous mth an — i -shaped central mark, long slender leg 

 along lower edge of cell from beyond base, short, broad leg along closing 

 vein; an irregular yellow band along lower half of termen, a similar 

 spot opposite tornus, a narrow marginal streak along dorsiun from 

 well beyond base. Cilia bright orange ochreous, basal third dark 

 fuscous. 



Male genitalia: Tegumen triangular, bipartite (or broken in two at 

 the top?). Transtilla subquadrate, each labis, a rounded, concave 

 lobe, with a minutely haired surface. Vincidum rounded-triangidar, 

 arms strong, middle a broad plate. Valva broad, semioval, slightly 

 dilated; sacculus well separated, under 1/2, imarmed. Cucullus spiny 

 on apical third, bristles of diverse shape and size; a separated cluster of 

 spines just above top of sacculus. 



The second syntype, a female, without abdomen, is labelled 

 "Kosempo (Formosa), H. Sauter, X.1911," "F 113," "Meyrick det.," 

 "Dtsch. Entomol. Institut Berlin." Although marked "Typus" this 

 specimen ranges only as syntype (DEI). The syntype retained by 

 Meyrick was preferable for the selection, being an intact male specimen.
