MICBOLEPIDOPTEBA OF NEW GUINEA 
strongly irrorated with dark brown except towards their edges, each with 
a semilunar transverse white spot on the middle of the posterior edge; 
eighth tergite with a moderate transverse spot in the middle of its anterior 
edge; uncus slightly mixed with brownish; venter yellowish-whitish. Legs 
whitish tinged pale fuscous, anterior yellowish with the femur and the 
tibia dark brown in the middle above. Fore wing deep yellow-ochreous, 
markings dark brownish-fuscous : a narrow costal fold to beyond the base 
of the first cleft, marked as follows: costal edge narrowly dark fuscous, 
with three broad, transverse bands, at 1 / 3 , beyond the middle, and before 
the apex of the fold, first dilated below, posterior lower angle of the first 
and the second bands connected by a narrow streak of a fuscous suffusion 
with a marginal streak of a dark fuscous irroration, along the dorsum of 
the first, and the second segments; third transverse band continued as a 
broad transverse fascia across 1 / 3 of the wing, formed by coarse fuscous 
irroration and edged with dark fuscous, outwardly oblique, dilated across 
the first, and the second segments, enclosing the base of the first cleft, 
broad, slightly shifted basad across the third, and the fourth segments, 
enclosing the base of the third cleft, twice as narrow, and indicated only 
by its dark edges, on the fifth and the sixth segments ; an irregular irrora- 
tion on the base of the wing extended posteriorly between the second, 
and the sixth cleft, on the sixth segment hardly extended beyond the base 
of cleft, a small dot halfway toward this, and first transverse fascia; a 
second transverse fascia about as broad as the preceding, from before the 
middle of the costa (on the first lobe with outwardly oblique edges), 
strongly outwards-curved on the second, and the third segments, narrowed 
to a point on the fourth, moderately broad and median on the fifth seg- 
ment, absent on the sixth; a third transverse fascia, from 2 / 3 of the costa, 
on the first segment somewhat narrower than the preceding, with its 
anterior edge inwardly oblique, posterior almost vertical, on the second 
and the third segments strongly curved outwardly and dilated, less so 
on the third segment, on the fourth to the sixth strongly curved basad, 
moderately broad, paler, with dark edges; fourth transverse fascia from 
s / 4 of the costa, parallel and somewhat narrower than the preceding, 
indicated only by dark edges on the fourth to the sixth segments, on the 
first segment a patch halfway between the third and the fourth fasciae; 
a narrow^ subapical fascia and a row of apical dots, confluent on the first 
segment; cilia light ochreous-yellow, blackish -fuscous opposite dark 
markings, on the dorsum of the fourth to the sixth segments, pale grey. 
Hind wing light ochreous-yellow, markings formed by patches of dark 
fuscous dense irroration, together indicating rather narrow transverse 
fasciae; a fascia from beyond 1 / 5 , and another from the middle of the 
costa, converging in a single dot at 1 / 3 of the fifth segment, tw o additional 
dots between these series, on the first segment touching the second fascia, 
on the second segment halfway between these fasciae; tw r o more trans- 
verse series of blotches, inwardly oblique, and converging in a broad
