MICROLEPIDOPTERA OP NEW GUINEA 
row of minute fuscous points. Hind wing with veins 3 and 4 connate, 
semipel lucent, white. Cilia ivhite. 
Ostium wide. Limen very broad, simple, gradually narrowed laterally. 
Coliiculum, a moderate ring. Ductus bursae broad, moderately long, a 
sclerotized scobinate plate above. Bursa copulatrix moderate, spheroid, 
with a finely and densely scobinate wal I. Eighth segment sclerotized, ventral 
lobes rounded. Ovipositor with discal lobe large, semioval, proximal lobe 
narrow, curved. (Slide No. 664 D, holotype). 
Sigi Camp, 1500 m, February 23, 1939 (holotype). Araucaria Camp, 
800 m, March 23, 1939. Two specimens. Closely allied to S. paraptera 
Meyrick, 1910, from Malaya and Sumatra, differing by shorter, broader 
and darker palpus, by more rounded termen, by denser and darker 
markings in fore wing, and by white hind wing (in paraptera sordid 
ochreous- whitish; veins 3 and 4 closely approximated). 
Schoenotenes canescens spec. nov. (figs. 487, 492) 
18 mm, $ 20 mm. Head and thorax whitish, slightly mixed with 
greyish. Palpus moderately long, median segment with basal half of upper 
edge concave, greyish; basal segment and edges of median whitish. 
Abdomen white. Maxillary palpus minute, but distinct. Legs whitish, 
anterior tibia and tarsus infuscated, pale-ringed. Fore wing elongate- 
subovate, costa curved anteriorly, almost straight in middle, slightly 
curved before apex, apex subobtuse, termen faintly rounded, little oblique. 
Whitish, faintly suffused with very pale fuscous anteriorly, transversely 
strigulated with short greyish-fuscous streaks, markings blackish-fuscous. 
Nine dots along costa, first dot forming a short transverse streak to 
vein 12, slightly constricted in middle, a suffused small dot below this in 
fold; a more distinct transverse somewhat oblique row of blackish-fuscous 
dots in disc at */ 5 ; fifth costal dot larger, rounded, a darker irroration 
forming rounded patch below this dot, and an outwardly oblique streak 
from upper edge of cell before middle of wing to 3 / 5 of dorsum, regularly 
dilated below; a spot of blackish irroration in cell above parting vein, 
and one just above fold; more continuous transverse sinuate lines of 
greyish strigidation : one vertical, from lower part of preceding fascia to 
above cell, and a pair of lines from termen to costal patch ; this patch 
small, represented by two dots on 4 / 5 of costa and a dark fuscous spot 
connecting these dots below costa; a V-shaped preterminal mark, with 
anterior arm thickened, rounded above, posterior arm curved, almost 
reaching last costal patch. Cilia white. Hind wing and cilia glossy-white. 
Male genitalia considerably specialised. Tegumen robust, spheroid, 
shoulder with two large blade-like bristles. Uncus bipartite: two rather 
slender obtuse rods with dilated base, bent downward. Socius, a bristly 
pad. Gnathos short, unpaired, with middle thickened into a pad. Transtilla 
moderate, upper edge prominent in middle. Valva rather narrow, top
