MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF NEW GUINEA 
17 
fuscous, femur medianly whitish. Fore wing cleft from well beyond 2 / 3 ; 
first segment with costa curved, apex pointed, termen sinuate, tornus 
gently rounded; second segment slightly spatulate, costa straight, termen 
very gently biconcave, anal angle rounded but distinct. Pale ochreous- 
fuscous, densely irrorated with rather dark fuscous, towards base slightly 
tinged greyish. A narrow marginal whitish streak on costa beyond base 
of cleft, preceded by somewhat erect, triangular costal patch; this patch 
dark fuscous, rather well defined below but becoming abruptly pale and 
hardly perceptible above upper edge of cell, with both edges straight, 
posterior edge somewhat inwardly oblique, not touching base of cleft; a 
transverse blotch of ill-defined fuscous irroration, darker than remainder 
of wing, crossing both segments; tins blotch occupying about median 
third of first segment, and more than basal half of second, from base of 
cleft; segments beyond this blotch slightly paler than the remainder of 
wing. Cilia pale ochreous-fuscous along costa, fuscous-whitish elsewhere; a 
dark fuscous antemedian fascia from apex to around tornus of first segment, 
more sinuate than its termen, forming a narrow bar in its apex; a more 
suffused dark fuscous antemedian line around top of second segment, 
forming more distinct elongate blotches, viz., on costa before apex, just 
below apex, and in tornus; cilia along third fourth of dorsum of wing 
with dark subapical shadow, a small rather distinct blackish blotch with 
pale base well beyond middle of wing, and a shadowy narrow blackish bar 
just beyond base of cleft. Hind wing cleft from before middle and from 
rather beyond base; pale fuscous irrorated with darker fuscous: somewhat 
paler and slightly more brownish-tinged than fore wing. Cilia fuscous 
with faint bronze reflections, along dorsum of third segment with an 
irregular but rather dense series of blackish scales from base to just 
beyond middle. 
Ovipositor truncate, dilated, anapophyses reaching almost to its apex. 
Limen represented by two oval converging lobes above ostium. Ductus 
bursae with a long tubular colliculum. Bursa copulatrix spheroid. Signa 
slender, minutely corrugated blades (Slide No. 1040 D, type).
