MICROLEPIDOPTERA OE NEW GUINEA 
spot connected below with the preceding streak; a somewhat sinuate rather 
slender deep ferruginous-brown transverse fascia from below middle of 
costa to before 1 / g of dorsum, moderately dilated from below upper edge 
of cell, a blunt projection anteriorly in middle of disc, broadly anastomosing 
with the preceding streak, two narrow longitudinal streaks connecting 
lower fourth of transverse fascia with base of wing; a ierruginous-brown 
fascia from upper third of preceding to dorsum before tornus, with base 
deeply indent posteriorly above margin of wing, abruptly dilated and 
darker brown along its central third, sending a deep ferruginous-brown 
branch from 2 / s of its anterior edge to 2 / s of dorsum; this branch twice 
moderately angulate (zigzag) above dorsum; a reddish-fulvous streak 
«il on g edge of cell from terminal fascia, becoming ferruginous-brown 
along closing vein, merging in preceding fascia above its middle; a slender 
horizontal streak above middle of cell from first transverse fascia not 
reaching end of cell, deep ferruginous-brown, posterior half light fulvous : 
in female double, almost forming a long, narrow loop; a moderate 
longitudinal fulvous streak connecting transverse fasciae above fold; a 
prostrate-furcate ferruginous-red longitudinal mark above dorsum, its 
stem connected with the first transverse fascia above its base, its arms 
almost reaching dark branch which terminates at 2 / 3 of dorsum; a suffused 
slender longitudinal streak between fold and the preceding; a rather 
narrow deep ferruginous-brown angulate subterminal fascia halfway 
between cell and margin, upper half broader, outwardly convex, lower 
concave running from below middle of vein 10 to second transverse fascia 
halfway between cell and dorsum; irregular narrow streaks of fulvous 
irroration between veins, originating from cell, by far not reaching margin ; 
narrow deep ferruginous-red streaks along posterior extremities of all 
veins, reaching halfway towards subterminal fascia, moderately dilated 
towards margin of wing; a rather narrow suffused dark ferruginous-brown 
marginal streak from costa before apex to tornus, thence much narrowed, 
suffused with fulvous, running along dorsum to base. Cilia bright fulvous, 
basal half deep ferruginous-red; cilia opposite apex and termen mixed 
with a few pale yellow scales. Hind wing with veins 4 and 5 separate or 
short-stalked; salmon-orange, thinly scaled except along margin, where 
this colour is deeper. Cilia concolorous, base darker. 
Uncus rather long and stout, clavate, top with three small teeth. \ alva 
simple. Vinculum rather short, subtruncate. Anellus lobes strong, long, 
rather slender. Aedoeagus narrowed. (Slide no. 929 D, holotype.) 
Ostium, a larger flattened cup, with a double ventral rim, being the 
limen. Ductus bursae very long, coiled. Signa, four oval plates. (Slide 
no. 930 D, allotype.) 
Mist Camp, 1400—1800 m, January 8, 1939 (holotype, male), Sigi 
Camp, 1500 m, February 18, 1939 (allotype, female), February 22—25, 
1939. Top Camp, 2100 m, February 18, 1939. Twelve males, four females. 
Very near to L. triexoda Meyrick and L. captatrix Meyrick.
