MICKOLEPIDOPTERA OF NEW GUINEA 
45 
vertical to cell, encircling cell posteriorly, to dorsum before tornus, deeply 
angulate anteriorly just below cell, thence rounded; space between this 
line and preceding line filled with darker fuscous-greyish irroration which 
is faintly continued along dorsum to base of wing; first and second 
transverse lines thickened, and coloured brighter brownish-fuscous in 
disc; a rather slender preterminal mark of dark grey narrow transverse 
fasciae, forming a Y in male, an erect-ovate mark in female, connected 
by a vertical branch above with grey subcostal strigulation; two minute 
transverse greyish lines before apex. Cilia whitish, faintly tinged fuscous, 
an antemedian series of fuscous bars. Hind wing and cilia glossy white, 
in female former faintly tinged with ochreous, especially along base. 
Tegumen concave, subconical. Uncus moderate, ending in a gradually 
curved robust hook, with an abruptly narrowed apex and a brush of 
strong spines above this dorsally. Socius small, pending. Gnathos robust, 
arms broad and strongly dilated, angulate beyond middle, top truncate, 
each arm ending in a flattened hook above. Transtilla rather narrow; a 
vertical, very broad labis, ventrally with a curved hook. Valva rather 
short, semiovate, strongly concave; costa distinct, narrow, cucullus 
subobtuse ; sacculus with a strong terminal pad covered with bifid bristles. 
Aedoeagus strongly curved, semicircular, slender. (Slide No. 674 D, 
holotype). 
Genital segment sclerotized. Limen broad, lower edge excavated later- 
ally, with a deep triangular incision in middle, upper rim of this incision 
folded, upper edge with a thickened, finely scobinate moderate pad at 
each side; dorsally this segment forms two elongate transverse lobes. 
Ductus bursae rather narrow, simple. Bursa copulatrix simple. Ovipositor 
almost cylindrical, lobes broad. (Slide No. 675 D, allotype). 
Top Camp, 2100 m, January 25, 1939 (holotype, male). Sigi Camp, 
1500 m, February 26, 1939 (allotype, female). One male, one female. 
Closely allied to the preceding species, differing by the absence of a dorsal 
patch of darker cloudy grey irroration, and by the genitalia. 
Schoenotenes oligosema spec. nov. (fig. 433) 
oktyov = little, orjfia = a marking 
$ 19 mm. Head, palpus and thorax sordid pale greyish-fuscous, palpus 
somewhat darker. Abdomen white. Legs whitish tinged ochreous, anterior 
tibia and tarsus infuscated. Fore wing elongate-subtri angular, dilated, 
costa considerably curved anteriorly, slightly prominent at 3 / 4 , gently 
curved before apex; apex rather pointed, slightly projecting, termen 
sinuate, considerably oblique. Whitish, densely irrorated and speckled 
with light fuscous; markings somewhat darker, suffused and ill-defined. 
Costa with a row of faint cloudy fuscous dots, a small suffusion along basal 
fifth, indicating a narrow transverse short line pointing towards tornus; 
denser irroration along costa, termen and dorsum; a faint small fuscous
