MICROLEPIDOPTERA OP NEW GUINEA 
becoming narrower, lines less oblique; second to sixth pairs are inter- 
connected in middle of disc and obscured by fuscous-bronze suffusion 
which fills ultimate pair almost entirely; two almost vertical dark fuscous- 
bronze transverse bars between ultimate pair and apex, continued on 
cilia, subapical bar also continued along margin of wing posteriorly, so as 
to form an apical ring, these bars narrowly interconnected in middle, first 
bar also adjacent to the preceding marking. Cilia white along costa, 
around apex and along upper part of termen barred with dark bronze 
opposite transverse markings of wing, around apex also with a dark 
bronze apical band, cilia along lower part of termen and on dorsum rather 
light bronze-fuscous, becoming paler anteriorly. Hind wing pale bronze- 
grey, cilia pale bronze-fuscous. 
Tegumen bristly along posterior half, top indent. V alva small, narrowed, 
cardinate; on disc some four peculiar bristles, each shaped as a flattened 
brush, bent on a long rising stalk. Vinculum, a strong ring, lower rim 
bluntly pointed. Aedoeagus, a moderate, simple tube with a pointed apex.
