MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF NEW GUINEA 
projection before apex of wing, not reaching costa, preceded by a second 
transverse projection that is straight, vertical, clavate above, and is 
shorter than the preceding ; a small triangular subapical dot on termen, 
extending over cilia and thus forming a conspicuous yellowish-white 
triangle. Costal and apical cilia bronze-black, two very outwards-oblique 
narrow whitish lines above costa before apex, terminal cilia shining violet. 
Hind wing brassy golden, slightly infuscated, apical half moderately 
suffused with fuscous-purple. Cilia purplish-fuscous. 
Genital ventrite with a slightly pointed projection at each side, bearing 
four small and one long bristles. (Slides no. 1094, type.) 
Sigi Camp, 1500 m, February 26, 1939. One specimen. 
Ectropoceros leucosphena spec. nov. (fig. 858) 
Aevxos = white apr/v = wedge 
^ 12.5 14 mtn. Head purple-black, face with lower half entirely white, 
upper half white in middle. Labial palpus black, median segment with 
white base, maxillary palpus white. Antenna entirely dull purple-black. 
Thorax blackish-purple or violet. Abdomen and legs purple-black, anterior 
leg paler. Fore wing shaped as in the preceding species. Bronze-black, 
densely suffused with dull black. Basal 2 / s of wing shining violet, edge of 
this area straight, slightly outwards-oblique; an erect-triangular, inwardly 
oblique yellowish-white transverse spot, narrowly edged with dull black, 
situated on dorsum well beyond base, with acute top reaching more than 
3 / 4 across wing, its black edge extended to costa before J / 4 ; a broad shining 
violet streak from before middle of wing running along dorsum, in middle 
occupying almost the lower half of wing, curved upwards before apex but 
not reaching costa, before posterior extremity forming a horizontal branch 
to apex; a triangular yellowish-white spot on tornus betore apex extending 
over cilia as a conspicuous triangular notch; costa before apex with a 
longitudinal pale bronze spot. Cilia as in the preceding species. Hind wing 
and cilia as in the preceding species. 
Seventh ventrite with a blunt projection at each side bearing some 
seven small and one long bristles. (Slide no. 1095, holotype.) 
Sigi Camp, 1500 m, February 24, 1938 (holotype). Rattan Camp, 1200 m, 
March 6, 1939. Three specimens. Closely allied to the preceding species. 
The specimens from Rattan Camp may belong to a distinct species but 
are in a too damaged condition to allow a better identification.
