MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF NEW GUINEA 
smoothly appressed scales, broadest in the middle, terminal segment as 
long as the median, laterally compressed, smooth, acute. Thorax smooth. 
Anterior tarsus twice as long as the tibia, slender. Posterior tibia with 
long rough hairs above and beneath. Fore wing with lb long-furcate, 2 
from the angle, 3 and 4 out of 2, 5 closely approximated at the base, 7 and 
8 long-stalked, 7 to the termen, 9 closely approximated to stalk at the 
base, 11 from the middle. Hind wing trapezoid-ovate, over 1, cilia 1 / 4 ; 
2 from the middle of the cell, 3 and 4 stalked from the angle, 5 approxi- 
mated, 6 and 7 connate. 
Genotype Chironeura chrysocyma spec, nov., female. 
Fig. 638: Chironeura chrysocyma gen. nov., spec, nov., female, head and wing 
neuration. 
Structurally nearest to Rhizosthenes Meyrick, 1935, from China, but 
differing in the neuration: in the fore wing the vein 4 originating out of 2. 
According to the neuration the new genus approaches Clepsigenes Mey- 
rick, 1930, from New Guinea, but greatly differs in the shape of the palpi 
and the facies. Probably Ceratophora phoxopterella Snellen, from Java, 
also belongs to this genus.
