MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF NEW GUINEA 
59 
ruginous, with five pale yellow spots, patagium pale yellow, broadly edged 
with ferruginous, tcgula with the apical hall golden-ochreous. Abdomen 
fight orange, clothed with long, dense hairs. Legs orange-fulvous, under 
side of anterior and median femur, a median spot on tibia above (small 
on anterior tibia) and another such spot on base of tarsus above pale 
yellow; anterior tibia suffused with dark brown; posterior leg ochreous- 
orange, tarsus orange-fulvous. Fore wing with veins 7 and 8 stalked, 
elongate-ovate, dilated, broadest at 2 / 3 , costa slightly curved at base, 
straight anteriorly, moderately curved along posterior 1 / 3 , apex obtuse, 
termen moderately rounded, oblique. Pale yellow, markings deep ochreous, 
moderately irrorated with fulvous and ferruginous-brown, becoming 
suffused with fulvous towards costal edge ; edge of costa reddish-ferruginous, 
extended along posterior 2 / 5 as a narrow orange-fulvous costal streak; 
ferruginous-brown markings as follows : an elongate patch on basal fourth 
of costa, acutely narrowed posteriorly, including a small round spot of 
ground colour below base of costa, its lower edge with an angulate pro- 
jection below this spot just beyond middle of base; an irregular sub- 
trapezoid large patch on costa occupying less than its median fifth, 
including three elongate irregular spots of ground colour posteriorly, 
arranged in a vertical series; lower edge of this patch running just above 
and parallel to lower edge of cell, anterior edge excavate below costa, 
rounded and projecting anteriorly in cell; a moderate irregular transverse 
fascia with undulate edges, from anterior lower angle of patch to before 
i/ 4 0 f dorsum, dilated along dorsum anteriorly but not reaching base; 
posterior edge of costal patch irregular, almost vertical, with two deep 
indentations on its upper half; a semicircular irregular moderate fascia 
from posterior angle of that patch across lower angle of cell to 3 / 5 of dorsum, 
dilated and slightly produced anteriorly along dorsum; these markings 
connected with basal patch by an irregular longitudinal streak above cell 
which is furcate anteriorly, anastomosing with a single irregular longitudinal 
streak below cell, arising from the projection of lower edge of basal patch 
and is connate there with a third longitudinal streak running to lower 
fourth of first transverse fascia; a slender prostrate Y-shaped reddish- 
brown mark above dorsum, connecting transverse fasciae; a broad oblique 
transverse band from upper half of posterior semi-circular transverse 
fascia, consisting of some five irregular, rather broad, interne ural streaks; 
these streaks originating from lower half of transverse vein, diverging, 
their posterior extremities connected by a narrow subterminal transverse 
fascia which is convex above, straight below; upper interneural streak 
reaches costa at about x / 7 and is produced along costa anteriorly as a 
moderate marginal patch; acute narrow (sometimes broad, triangular) 
terminal marks on veins reaching halfway towards subterminal lascia, 
their bases abruptly dilated. Ochreous markings arranged thus : a broad 
streak along median third of fold, broadly edged above and below with 
reddish-fulvous, originating from first transverse fascia, posterior extremity
