MICROLEPID OPTERA OE NEW GUINEA 
101 
Cell rather narrow, long, slightly curved downward posteriorly, no parting 
vein, 2 from 3 from angle, 4 excurved towards base, remote from 3, 
often closely approximated or almost connate with 5, all terminal veins 
along posterior part tolerably parallel to vein 7, 7 and 8 separate, 7 to 
termen, 1 1 from before middle. Hind wing with cell mostly long, terminal 
veins often rather short, 2 from 2 / 3 , 3 from angle, 3 — 5 mostly separate 
and equidistant, closely approximated towards base, or 3 and 4 connate, 
5 closely approximated, seldom 3 and 4 short-stalked; 6 and 7 closely

approximated towards base, seldom short-stalked, upper edge of cell often 
angularly bent towards base and approximated to 8. 
Tegumen moderately broad. Uncus narrowed below middle, somewhat 
clavate, top rounded, slightly flattened, often faintly emarginate in 
middle. Socius small. Gnathos strong, curved, hook rather large. Valva 
moderate, flattened, moderately folded (less than in Parachorista ), base of 
sacculus rather weak, short. Transtilla knob large, robust. Anellus strong, 
vinculum ovate, indent in middle. Aedoeagus strong, little curved, some- 
times with a terminal thorn. Cornuti, a sheaf of spines. 
Limen narrow laterally, broad and membraneous in middle, this part 
more dilated medianlv than laterally. Ostium large, funnel-shaped, lower 
rim indent. Colliculum very short, almost annular, often distinct only at 
the sides. Ductus bursae moderately long. Cestum long, often tortuous, in 
bursa moderately dilated and forming a terminal fold, edges of which are 
often partially rolled up; seldom cestum absent. Signum long, dagger- 
shaped, curved, short-dentate.

The identification and the separation of the present genus gave us 
much trouble due to several reasons: the variability of the species; the 
actual, close relations with several genera named below; and the very 
deceiving superficial resemblance of Anisotenes with some quite distant 
genera. It was the more difficult to understand the true nature of this genus
