MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF NEW GUINEA 
147 
from beyond the base, first of these distinct, blackish; dorsum suffused 
with grey and denser irrorated with greyish-fuscous, this irroration 
tending to form outwardly oblique streaks ; a triangular spot of a blackish 
suffusion above 1 / i of the dorsum, with its top on the dorsal edge; a row of 
faint triangular greyish dots on the veins along the termen. Cilia whitish, 
with an interrupted fuscous-greyish median band, tornal cilia somewhat 
infuscated. Hind wing whitish-isabel-grey, paler and densely covered 
with fine hairs towards the Base. Cilia white, basal half greyish-isabel. 
Uncus moderate, slender. Gnathos almost twice as long, Y-shaped. 
Valva short, costa concave, at the base erected in a large process which 
is rectangularly bent in the middle, with a scaled and bristled acute point; 
cucullus obtuse; sacculus indefinite. Transtilla rather broad, with a pro- 
jection in the middle below. Furca, two broad, rounded blades. Aedoeagus 
very broad and short, anterior edge of the orifice extended so as to form a 
strong point. Cornutus, a huge sinuate spike. (Slide no. 947 D, holotype.) 
Mist Camp, 1800 m, January 14, 1939 (holotype). Araucaria Camp, 
800 m, March 3, 1939. Two specimens. Very near to A. par ills Meyrick, 
but with the genitalia specifically distinct : the appendix at the base of the 
valva is hooked and pointed, while in the latter species it is gradually 
narrowed. 
Dedicated to Mr. J. D. Bradley, of the British Museum. 
Agriophara biornata spec. nov. (fig. 685) 
£ 26 mm. Head and thorax w’hitish, slightly tinged pale ochreous. 
Antenna with ciliations under 2. Palpus rather long, median segment 
exceeding the base of the antenna, terminal segment about l 1 / 2 ; whitish, 
lower edge slightly infuscated, terminal segment mixed with blackish- 
fuscous, especially towards the base. Abdomen ochreous-whitish. Legs 
whitish, anterior tibia infuscated below. Fore wing elongate-ovate, 
moderately dilated, costa moderately curved posteriorly, apex obtuse, 
termen rounded, oblique. Whitish, markings dark fuscous. Three small 
marks: on the costa, in the fold, and on the dorsum, indicating a trans- 
verse streak just beyond the base; a round suffused small spot on '/ 4 of 
the costa; another such spot, larger, elongate, slightly tinged fulvous, 
before the middle; it is hardly connected with a broad submedian trans- 
verse band of a sparse irroration, forming rather coarse blotches, more or 
less interconnected by finer network; an indication of an almost horizontal 
fine from the lower edge of the submedian costal spot, running well 
beyond the cell, abruptly rectangularly bent at 1 / 3 of the vein 8, and 
continued to the torn us as a curved row T of interconnected coarse longi- 
tudinal interneural marks, two largest of these below veins 5 and 6, 
respectively; a second tolerably parallel transverse curved row of larger 
interneural blotches from below the costa before the apex, to above the
