MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF NEW GUINEA 
111 
slightly dilated, costa with a patch of broad, blade-like bristles with fine 
curved points; two peculiar ungulate bristles in disc; cucullus finely 
haired; sacculus with simple, and with furcate broad bristles. Anellus 
moderate. Aedoeagus curved. Cornuti absent. (Slide No. 1112 D, holotype). 
Eighth segment, a sclerotized ring, with narrowed ventral part repre- 
senting the limen, upper edge of which with an ovate lobe at each side. 
Ostium, a strongly sclerotized funnel, connected with a conical colliculum, 
dorsal wall of ostium produced in a pointed, rising projection. Ductus 
bursae rather short. Bursa copulatrix simple. Ovipositor lobe narrow, 
reniform, with a large elongate dorsal pad. (Slide No. 700 D, allotype). 
Mist Camp, 1800 m, January 8, 1939 (holotype, male), January 19, 1939 
(allotype, female). One male, one female. The male genitalia are greatly 
puzzhng, strongly specialized, and not like those in any other species of 
Schoenotenes known to us. All other characters, however, show no deviations 
whatever from the common type of this genus.

Head with appressed scales. Ocellus absent. Proboscis vestigial. Antenna 
1 / 2 , minutely ciliated in male. Labial palpus moderately long, subascending, 
median segment densely clothed with long appressed scales, which are 
strongly expanded and projecting towards apex, shorter above, long 
beneath, terminal segment short, almost concealed, subacute. Maxillary 
palpus obliterate. (Thorax denuded). Fore wing with raised scales along 
veins, ovate, base constricted, costa angularly projecting, with a brush 
of modified scales below, apex broadly rounded. Veins fringed with scales 
below, cell narrow, slightly over x / 2 , gradually narrowed posteriorly, with 
a weak upper parting vein to below 6, and with a strong low'er parting 
vein from beyond base of lower edge of cell to above base of vein 5; 
lb furcate along basal 3 / 5 , both arms strong, upper little sinuate, lower 
running obliquely from base of wing to edge of dorsum, strongly bent 
there, thence to furcation, with a comb of scales above; 2 from : / 2 , furcate 
along posterior a / 3 , 3 and 4 closely approximated at base, from angle, 
5 and 6 remote, parallel, 7 separate, from angle, to termen, little approxi- 
mated to 8, 8 apparently to apex (which is indefinite), 9 from 3 U, 10 from 
1 / 2 , 11 from towards base of upper edge of cell. Hind wing without cubital 
pecten, costa concave at 2 / 3 ; apex bluntly rounded; under 1, cilia 1 / 5 , cell 
very narrow, closing vein horizontal above: 1c furcate, 2 from before 
angle, 3 remote, from angle, 4 approximated, 5 remote, curved towards 
base, apparently from upper angle of cell, 6 and 7 very long, short-stalked, 
stalk from halfway between base and vein 5, 7 to below apex, 8 strong, 
to 3 / 4 of costa. 
Genotype Xenotenes micrastra spec, nov., male. 
The situation of vein l b in the fore wing, as well as the furcate veins 2 
in fore wing, and lc in hind wing are unique.
