MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF NEW GUINEA 
part of the closing vein, and a dot on the lower angle of the cell ; a patch of 
light tawny irroration in the disc beyond the cell, posteriorly limited by a 
strongly outwards-curved series of irregular dark fuscous-brown dots from 
before 3 / 6 of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, forming a broad 
loop in the disc, more or less interconnected by a pale fuscous and tawny 
suffusion; terminal veins beyond these marks streaked with pale fuscous; 
four brownish dots along the posterior fourth of the costa, becoming paler 
towards the apex, ultimate dot apical; an irregular, interrupted dark 
fuscous terminal line; ill-defined dark irroration along the dorsal edge, 
somewhat dilated before the middle. Cilia creamy, rather irregular broad 
fuscous bars along their basal third, a greyish shade along their median 
third. Hind wing very pale fuscous, with a golden gloss. Cilia fuscous- 
whitish, with a golden gloss, a greyish subbasal shade. 
Limen, a transverse sclerite with plicate sides, together with a well- 
developed colliculum forming a T-shaped body. Ovipositor without 
crochets. (Slide no. 1002 D, type.) 
Iebele Camp, 2250 m, November 26, 1938. One specimen. Distinct by 
fuscous-tawny tinge of the markings. 
Agriophara bradleyi spec. nov. (fig. 691) 
g 17 mm. Head white. Antenna white, scape grey above, flagellum 
ringed with grey, ciliations 2 1 / 2 . Palpus white, slightly mixed with greyish 
below, basal segment, basal half of the median segment, and a basal ring 
of the terminal, dark greyish -brown. Thorax white, irrorated with grey. 
Abdomen ochreous-whitish. Legs white, anterior suffused with grey, tibia 
and tarsus black, median tibia with a dark fuscous spot, tarsus dark fuscous, 
white-ringed. Fore wing rather broad, elongate-subovate, costa curved, 
apex very obtusely pointed, termen rounded, moderately oblique. White, 
slightly irrorated with fuscous-grey, markings irrorated fuscous-grey. 
Basal fourth of the costal edge narrowly grey ; a small interrupted blackish 
oblique streak from the base of the costa, this base somewhat suffused 
with greyish; a subquadrate dot on 1 / 3 of the costa, forming an oblique 
series with two irregular paler dots in the disc; second of these dots 
smaller, third in the middle of the cell, largest; a larger quadrate dot on 
the middle of the costa, continued by greyish suffusion along the upper 
edge of the cell to before its upper angle; four small dots along the costa 
from beyond the middle to before the apex; a streak, originating from 
the lower edge of the first of the preceding dots, interrupted on veins, 
running parallel to the costa and reaching to below the ultimate dot, 
thence curved, to above the tornus; a suffused small inwardly oblique 
streak along the lower half of the closing vein, connected with an irregular 
transverse patch of a cloudy irroration beyond the cell, reaching to the 
tornus; dark irroration forming a series of ill-defined dots along the fold
