MICROLEPIDOPTERA OP NEW GUINEA 
Hind wing 3 / 4 , ovate-trapezoid, dilated, cilia 1 / s ; 2 from beyond middle, 
3 from 3 / 4 , 4 from angle, 5 hardly approximated at base, 6 and 7 short- 
stalked, 7 to teamen, 8 straight, to apex, or 6 absent, 8 almost costal along 
basal half then abruptly bent downward, subcostal, to apex. 
Genotype Apoecis anholoxantha spec, nov., female. 
Allied to Solenobia Duponchel but greatly differing by the fact that 
the females are normally winged and also by many details of structure. 
Apparently it belongs to a group ancestral to the Solenobia stock. The two 
species described below differ considerably in neuration of both wings, but 
all other characters are so much alike that we regard them as certainly 
congeneric. The differences in neuration may be sexual.
