MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF NEW GUINEA 
flattened crochet; cucullus abruptly narrowed at 2 / 3 of the length of the 
valva, pointed ; sacculus ill-defined. Transtilla strongly curved, U-shaped. 
Furca short, its arms broad, truncate, sparsely bristled. Aedoeagus 
moderate, broad, curried. Socius, a long sclerotized rod, with one extremity 
pointed, another with two teeth and a row of serrulations. (Slide no. 
946 D, type.) 
Cyclops Mountains, 400 — 900 m, end July, 1938 (J. Olthof). One 
specimen, with the dorsal half of the wing rubbed off, but sufficiently 
characterised by the costal markings and by the genitalia. Belongs to the 
muscicolor group. In muscicolor the costal process is shorter, while the 
crochet is much longer, gradually curved, almost semicircular.

$ 25 mm. Head pale fuscous mixed with darker fuscous, face whitish. 
Antenna pale fuscous, ringed with darker fuscous. Palpus whitish, irrorated 
with tawny -fuscous, median segment with basal 2 / 3 , terminal with basal 
third, suffused with dark fuscous. Thorax pale fuscous mixed with darker 
fuscous, tegula, except towards the apex coarsely, mixed with fuscous- 
tawny. Abdomen whitish-fuscous, indistinctly banded with grey. Legs 
ochreous white, dark fuscous, ringed with whitish above, posterior tibia 
slightly suffused with grey above, posterior tarsus grey, white-banded, 
below tinged golden. Fore wing elongate-subovate, moderately dilated, 
costa curved, apex obtuse, termen hardly rounded, oblique. Creamy, 
densely irrorated with pale fuscous, markings formed by pale tawny, 
brownish, and dark fuscous-brown irroration. Anterior half of the costa 
narrowly mixed with fuscous; a moderate spot on the costa just beyond 
the base, edged anteriorly with dark fuscous-brown, with two small 
appendages below reaching to fold, dark fuscous-brown; an oblique inter- 
rupted transverse dark fuscous- brown streak from 1 / 5 of the costa, running 
to below the middle of the fold, formed by a small costal spot, by two 
dots below this, by a moderate streak across the cell, not reaching the 
fold, and by a smaller streak below' the fold, these streaks slightly raised; 
an erect-triangular pale fuscous-tawny discal patch adjacent to the low'er 
two-thirds of the preceding streak, top directed apicad and reaching along 
the lower edge of the cell to before the middle of the wing : below' this top 
the patch with a deep, triangular incision posteriorly; a transverse, erect- 
ovate patch of rather sparse dark fuscous-brownish irroration on 2 / 3 of 
the dorsum, above not reaching the cell, in the left wing dissolved in three 
ill-defined dark spots; indication of a strongly outwards-oblique, dark 
fuscous-brown fascia, running beyond 2 / 5 of the costa to the end of the 
cell, formed by a wedge-shaped mark on the costa; some two dots along 
upper edge of the cell beyond this fascia, a raised ridge along the upper
