MICROLEPIDOPTERA OE NEW GUINEA 
moderate costal fold to before middle, with edge ciliated, costa con- 
siderably curved anteriorly, with a small brush of cilia just before middle, 
short-ciliate along posterior half, in female costa strongly curved anteri- 
orly, less curved posteriorly, ciliate throughout, a longer tuft of cilia before 
middle; apex little rounded, termen slightly sinuate, hardly oblique in 
male, more so in female. Creamy- whitish, densely scattered with dark grey 
and fuscous scales, suffused with fuscous and grey, markings fuscous- 
black. Costa dotted throughout with black. Basal patch moderate, suf- 
fused with fuscous, especially along costa, strigulated with black, margin 
strongly angulate on upper edge of cell, rather narrow, blackish, marked 
with a dentiform acute black patch above fold, and a rounded black patch 
on dorsum ; central fascia indicated by a suffused fuscous-grey moderate 
subquadrate spot on costa before 1 / 3 , in male irregular, blackish, marked 
with a white costal dot, and by a cloudy large patch of rather bright 
fuscous suffusion from below this, obliquely to posterior 2 / 5 of dorsum, 
occupying centre of disc to above and beyond cell, irrorated and trans- 
versely strigulated with blackish, especially along anterior edge which is 
tolerably straight, oblique, running vertical below fold; an elongate- 
rectangular black patch on a / 5 of dorsum, a blackish-fuscous suffusion 
from before this to basal patch along dorsum, above not reaching fold; 
costal patch ill-defined, represented by four dark greyish-fuscous costal 
dots from middle to before apex, followed by a smaller dot before apex, 
and a cloudy blackish spot above upper angle of cell, connected with 
dorsum before tornus by a dark fuscous-blackish transverse suffusion, 
above tornus in male with a black angulate line posteriorly, in female 
broader, less distinct; a small, distinct white spot on end of cell, round in 
male, erect-ovate in female; terminal fourth of wing suffused with mouse- 
grey, not mixed with fuscous, with two transverse irregular interrupted 
series of jet-black points: from termen above tornus and from termen 
above middle, running somewhat obliquely to below costa; apex some- 
what darker grey. Cilia white, apical third dark grey, an antemedian row 
of blackish dots. Hind wing glossy-whitish, distinctly dotted with dull 
fuscous-grey along posterior half. 
Uncus with top gradually rounded. Socius small, broader than in 
A. bathygrapha spec. nov. and A. stemmatoslola spec. nov. Gnathos with a 
long hook. Transtilla knob with a robust stalk (Slide No. 442 D, holotype). 
Limen narrow. Ostium shallow, ventral edge triangularly incised. 
Colliculum fitting in this incision, tubular. Cestum tortuous. Bursa copu- 
latrix missing in allotype (Slide No. 433 D, allotype). 
Lake Habbema, 3250—3300 m, August 5, 1938 (holotype, male), 
August 6, 1938, August 18, 1938 (allotype, female), September, 1938. One 
male, three females. Little allied to preceding, distinct by white discal dot; 
related with the five following species. Reminds of a Thrincophora.
