MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF NEW GUINEA 
with a narrow one ; its anterior edge almost straight, somewhat irregularly 
sinuate, shortly concave on dorsum, considerably oblique, from before 
1 / 3 of costa to before tornus; posterior edge from before 2 / 3 to tornus, some- 
times with a slight excavation below costa and a distinct, little rounded 
projection above tornus; apical patch somewhat broader than in male, its 
edge sinuate, variably shaped. Cilia blackish, along lower 1 / 3 of termen 
orange-yellowish. Hind wing deep purple, terminal fascia as in preceding 
species, deep orange, little obscured, broader posteriorly, broadly con- 
nected with the subapical costal patch by a deep orange streak, which is 
slightly infuscated along veins. Cilia ochreous-fulvous, dark grey around 
apex and on dorsum. 
Genitalia of the male much approaching those of the preceding species. 
Uncus broader at base, deeper constricted in middle, top broader. Peniculus 
longer, subclavate. Valva, juxta and vinculum broader. (Slide No. 
364 D.) 
Female genitalia much like those in the preceding species. Limen longer 
(ostium broader), no lateral excavations, lateral projections short. (Slide 
No. 365 D.) 
Araucaria Camp, 800 m, March 6 — 26, 1939, March 19, 1939 (holotype), 
March 26, 1939 (allotype), Rattan Camp, 1200 m, February-March, 1939. 
One male, five females. Closely allied to the preceding, especially the 
females are difficult to discriminate. The differences in the fore wing are: 
the costal fold of the male narrower and longer; the basal area paler, the 
anterior edge of the transverse fascia less curved, the posterior edge much 
more sinuate. The difference in the hind wing: the orange area is more 
extended. The genitalia in the two sexes are distinctly different from those 
of thiasodes.
