MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF NEW GUINEA 
segments, throughout, white; ill-defined whitish costal dots on the 
middle of the fold; a narrow outwardly oblique white line from 2 / s of the 
costa across the first segment, from there continued across the second to 
the fourth segments as a little oblique broad whitish band, edged (hardly 
on cilia) with blackish-fuscous; a narrow marginal white streak on the 
costa beyond the preceding band; two very broad white bands across the 
first segment, somewhat before 2 / 3 , and before 4 / 5 , and a narrow out- 
wardly concave white transverse line before the apex; space between the 
white bands rather suffused with dark fuscous, first segment beyond the 
bands to the apex, almost blackish; cilia ochreous-fuscous, opposite white 
marks, white, edged with blackish, beyond the last white band, blackish; 
second to fourth segments with a little oblique transverse whitish fascia, 
suffusedly edged with fuscous-blackish, posterior edge of this suffusion 
broader on the third segment, and extended on the fourth, so as to form a 
large longitudinal blackish blotch extending over the cilia, and reaching 
to the following fascia which is very faint, hardly paler than the ground 
colour, but accentuated by its blackish-fuscous edges which are suffused, 
broad, and form an outwardly oblique streak on the second, and a trans- 
verse suffusion on the third segment; a third narrow white fascia parallel 
to the edge of the wing, well before the apices of the segments, narrowly 
edged with dark fuscous, less so on the cilia which are whitish; segments 
beyond this fascia pale brownish-white, each with a fuscous apical dot, 
cilia ochreous-brownish, becoming darker posteriorly, whitish opposite the 
white fascia, on the second segment dark blackish-fuscous between the 
second and the third fasciae above, and somewhat paler beneath, fifth 
segment white, tinged pale ochreous-brownish posteriorly; blackish- 
fuscous scales in the cleft ; spots of blackish-fuscous irroration, arranged 
as follows : a minute spot at 1 / 3 , a larger one at 3 / 4 , and a narrow transverse 
one before the apex, corresponding with the posterior edge of the third 
transverse fascia; tip of the fifth segment with a fuscous dot; costal cilia 
pale ochreous, with broad brownish blotches, at 3 / 4 , and before the sub- 
apical fascia; this fascia indicated only on cilia, and narrowly edged with 
fuscous; dorsal cilia white; sixth segment white, a dot and a longitudinal 
streak of light fuscous irroration at x / 4 , and in the middle of the dorsum, 
respectively; a transverse dash before 1 / 3 , a larger spot at 2 / 3 , both extending 
over the base of the cilia, and a small dot before the apex, black; cilia 
white, with an indication of two faint greyish blotches, at 2 / 3 , and beyond 
2 / 3 , last one also on the costal cilia. Hind whig white, an outwardly convex 
row of irrorated blackish dots rather before 2 / 3 , preceded on each first to 
fourth segments by five minute black points, a second transverse row of 
small black transverse marks at s / 6 , preceded by a broad hardly perceptible 
shadowy greyish fascia, a third row of larger dots halfway between this 
fascia, and the apex, and the apical black dots; third and fourth segments 
with a dot of a blackish irroration on the base of the cleft; a large triangular 
patch on the bases of the segments three to five from beyond their bases,
