MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF NEW GUINEA 
abruptly limited posteriorly by vein 5, anteriorly gradually narrowed, in 
male to tornus, with dentations on veins lb and lc, in female scarcely 
reaching tornus; an obliquely angulate patch on third fourth of costa, 
almost touching end of terminal fascia. Cilia greyish-fuscous, tinged with 
fulvous along terminal band. 
Tegumen broad. Uncus broadly triangular, slightly constricted in 
middle, top obtusely rounded. Socius, a series of moderate bristles. 
Gnathos long, strong, slender, narrowed above, hook long. Transtilla knob 
with five to seven strong dentations, median projection long. Peniculus 
erect-triangular, top somewhat rounded, with long bristles. Juxta 
flattened, corrugated, ventral edge deeply indent. Yalva complicated, 
sacculus with dilated and rounded base (Slide No. 367 D). 
Folds of corethrogyne large. Limen dorsally moderate, rather short, 
ventrally somewhat excavated at extremities and with long lateral pro- 
jections. Colliculum distinct, slightly narrowed below, rather short. 
Cestum strong, coiled, with a complete loop in middle, distal fold moder- 
ately long but very broad. Signum strong, curved. Eighth segment 
sclerotized (Slide No. 368 D). 
Baliem Camp, 1700 m, November 16—27, 1938. One male, four females. 
Baliern Plane, 1700—1800 m, December 17, 1938. One male.

35 mm, $ 35 — 37 mm. Head, palpus and thorax shining greenish-blue, 
in male lower part of face and scape of antenna below white. Abdomen 
deep blue or greenish -blue, anal tuft shining whitish-ochreous, corethio- 
gyne dull pale ochreous. Legs blackish-fuscous, shining greenish. Fore 
wing elongate-subtruncate, costa strongly arched anteriorly, apex rounded, 
terrnen slightly sinuate above, rounded beneath. Basal area pale yellow, 
terminal area bright orange-yellow, markings deep bluish-purple or deep 
purple. Costal fold moderately broad, elongate-semiovate to before '/ 4 of 
costa, thence abruptly narrowed, to before 3 / 5 of costa. Male with a 
moderate streak along base of wing from costa to dorsum, narrowly 
connected along costal edge with transverse fascia; latter oblique, narrowed 
below, with anterior edge from before Vs ,ji ' cost - a > forming a moderate 
projection along costal fold, this projection slightly triangularly dilated 
in male, then from below and before Vs of costa obliquely to dorsum before 
tornus, very faintly sinuate, scarcely concave in middle, almost vertical 
below fold; its posterior edge from slightly before 3 /s of costa to tornus, 
with a subacute projection above 1 / i and a broadly rounded one above 
tornus, concave below costa and in middle; apical patch under x / 5 of costa, 
its edge vertical below costa, somewhat angularly broadly excavate below, 
to 3 /g of termen; female with basal streak narrow, more or less produced 
along costal edge but not connected with transverse fascia, the latter 
little dilated above, mostly without anterior projection on costa, seldom
