MICROLKPIDOPTERA OP NEW GUINEA 
123 
Mis t, Camp, 1800 m, January 17, 1939. One specimen. Allied to M. 
trimacullella (Snellen), but when compaired with Snellen’s paratype 
of this species (from the Leiden Museum) it appears to differ in the following 
points: the hyaline patch antemedian, the costa more curved, the apex 
more pointed, light spots strongly obscured and more suffused with yellow. 
Monopis cuspidigera spec. nov. (fig. 835) 
$ 23 mm. Head light yellow. Antennae light fuscous, dark fuscous 
towards base. Palpus dark fuscous, terminal segment under 1 / a , with apical 
half light ochreous. Thorax deep bronze-fuscous. Abdomen pale ochreous 
tinged brownish with a golden gloss. Legs light ochreous with a golden 
gloss, anterior femur and tibia and median tibia dark fuscous above. Fore 
wing with vein 2 from towards angle, 3 and 4 stalked from angle, 9 and 
10 stalked, from upper angle of cell, hyaline patch slightly antemedian; 
costa moderately curved posteriorly, apex obtusely pointed, termen 
gently curved, oblique. Glossy, light lilac-purple, bright purple in apex 
and along termen, strewn with dull purple-brown dots forming sparse 
more distinct dotting along edges of markings. Base of wing suffused with 
fuscous; costal edge light orange-ochreous, basal fourth suffused with dark 
fuscous, minutely marked pale ochreous, a row of subcostal fine dark 
fuscous dots. Markings glossy light yellow: a streak just below the second 
fourth of costa curved anteriorly and extending to dorsum beyond base ; a 
subquadrate patch on dorsum from beyond 1 / 4 to beyond middle, slightly 
narrowed above, terminated by lower margin of cell, edged by sparse 
dark purplish-brown dots; a strongly inwards- angulate transverse fascia 
formed by an elongate slightly subcostal spot at s / 4 , an obliquely oval 
larger spot on dorsum before tornus and a transverse spot edging cell 
posteriorly, connections between these three spots rather narrow, a very 
oblique, irregular whitish-ockreous spot from costa before apex not 
reaching halfway towards cell, slightly suffused with pale yellow towards 
end and with some three short vertical strigulae from its lower edge; 
some whitish-ochreous transverse strigulation on middle of tet men. 
Cilia pale orange-ochreous mixed with fuscous between light markings, 
opposite apex with a fuscous blotch. Hind wing light golden-bronze- 
fuscous. Cilia (damaged) sordid yellowish-white, with a coppery gloss. 
Apparently ovipositor rather long (top missing). Postapophyses long, 
very slender. Limen slightly notched. Colliculum long, slender. Anapo- 
physes long. (Slide no. 1138 D, type.) 
Mist Camp, 1800 m, January 8, 1939. One specimen. Allied to the
