MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF NEW GUINEA 
series of dark spots from below ®/ 4 of costa to dorsum before tornus, 
arranged thus : two rounded spots below costa, a transverse mark in 
middle of disc and some four round dots in a strongly outwards- convex row 
above dorsum; preterminal mark formed by a curved row of irregular 
dots from below penultimate costal dot to below vein 4 before termen, 
dot between veins 7 — 6 much larger than others, quadrate; this row 
preceded by an erect-ovate vertical spot between veins 6 — 4, with lower 
extremity adjacent to two lower preterminal dots. Cilia white (imperfect). 
Hind wing and cilia glossy-white, touched with golden-yellowish, a hardly 
perceptible greyish spot on costa before apex. 
Ostium simple. Limen very narrow, weak, rounded; genital segment 
with flattened plicate shoulders laterally, which are pubescent. Ductus 
bursae short, moderately broad. Bursa copulatrix moderate. No signum. 
Ovipositor cup-shaped, lobes narrow, curved. Eighth segment forms a 
sclerotized collar with a long ovate dorsal lobe, a plicate pubescent body 
ventrally. (Slide No. 667 D). 
Top Camp, 2100 m, January 25, 1939. One specimen. 
Schoenotenes subtilis spec. nov. (fig. 449) 
$ 14 mm. Head, thorax and abdomen whitish. Palpus fuscous, base and 
terminal segment whitish. Legs whitish, anterior dark fuscous above, 
articulations paler. Fore wing elongate-subtriangular, narrow, dilated; 
costa moderately curved anteriorly, straight posteriorly, apex pointed, 
termen hardly sinuate, strongly oblique. Whitish, faintly irrorated with 
pale fuscous, markings black. A row of minute points along 4 / s of costa; 
four black points along vein 12 from base to costa; an oblique straight 
row of small dots from below */ 3 of costa to dorsum before tornus, another 
similar row along fold, and an isolated dot in middle of disc at 1 / 3 ; a row 
of somewhat larger black dots from middle of costa to termen above 
tornus, including a group of scattered black scales just beyond end of cell, 
followed by a less oblique series of two, and another series of three black 
dots at 1 / 3 and 2 / 3 between cell and apex, and a series of black points from 
3 / 4 of cell to vein 9 between those two series of dots; some marginal dotting 
above and below apex. Cilia whitish-fuscous, suffused with darker fuscous 
towards apex. Hind wing and cilia greyish- whitish. 
Limen membraneous, with a small curved longitudinal fold at each side. 
Eighth segment forming a broad submembraueous fine-haired ring with 
a transverse ventral plate. Ductus bursae short, with a moderate cestum. 
Bursa simple. Ovipositor lobe slender, dorsal pad small, rounded. (Slide 
No. 721 D).
