MICROLEPIDOPTERA OP NEW GUINEA 
to above middle of disc, interrupted by fold; dorsum beyond this patch 
minutely edged with greyish or suffused with greyish-lilac; central 
fascia from 2 / 5 of costa to 3 / 5 of dorsum, moderately broad and suffused 
with lilac-grey on costa; in middle of disc this fascia narrowed to a dark 
fulvous-brown streak (being its anterior edge), and dilated below middle 
of disc by an obliquely erect-triangular lilac suffusion, reaching below to 
tornus, and becoming indistinct posteriorly; costal patch elongate- 
semiovate, from 3 / g of costa to before apex ; an undulate streak from 
middle of patch to termen above tornus, concave twice: in middle of disc, 
and above tornus; another almost straight vertical striga from posterior 
end of costal patch to preceding streak before its end, together with that 
streak forming a furcation, which is filled between veins 4 — 5 with fer- 
ruginous-lilac ; costa and central area strewn with minute transverse brown 
strigulae; terminal edge strewn with dark brown points. Cilia pale golden- 
oehreous, greyish below tornus. Hind wing pale oclireous, brighter towards 
apex, cilia pale goldcn-ochreous. 
Socius rather large. Gnathos with angles strongly projecting, convex, 
edges scobinate, hook moderate. Aedoeagus sickle-shaped (Slide No. 
398 D, allotype). 
The description of this species is based upon one female specimen ; the 
male has not been described before. In M by rick's collection, however, a 
series of males, identical with the specimen described above, is placed 
under the name vindicata. Very probably' these males belong to the same 
species as the female type specimen. The present species is closely allied 
to A. heteroidana Meyrick, differing by the central fascia which is narrowed 
in disc in the latter species, and by the ground colour which is greyish- 
ochreous in heteroidana.
