MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF NEW GUINEA 
edged with small transverse dark ferruginous-brown strigulae and points. 
Base of costa suffused with fulvous; an indistinct ferruginous-fulvous 
suffusion on dorsum indicating lower part of basal patch; transverse fascia 
obliterate in middle of disc, indicated by an oblique transverse moderate 
suffused darker-edged patch on 1 /., of costa, and by an ill-defined faint 
suffusion on 3 / 4 of dorsum; apical fourth suffused with ferruginous-fulvous 
throughout edged and marked with oblique curved series of dark dotting; 
anterior edge of this suffusion from a / 8 of costa, hardly sinuate, slightly 
concave along lower half to before end of vein 2, thence strongly concave 
to tornus. Cilia ochreous, along costa around apex and along upper 2 / 3 of 
termen deep fulvous, along termen with light ochreous basal line becoming 
broader downward, tomal cilia suffused with greyish. Hind wing pale 
ochreous, brighter towards costa and apex, slightly suffused and blotched 
with fulvous along apical sixth; cilia ochreous, bright ochreous with a. 
faint antemedian fulvous shade around apex and upper fourth of termen. 
Male genitalia resembling those of A, vindicate,. Uncus somewhat 
shorter and more clavate. Socius shorter. Gnathos smaller, with shorter 
hook; processes at the lower edge more rounded and shorter. Aedoeagus 
longer (Slide No. 4U0 1), holotype). 
$ 25 — 28.5 mm. Head light ferruginous-brown, crown between antennae 
more or less suffused with dark ferruginous-brown or fuscous, collar 
orange-ferruginous. Palpus light ferruginous-brown, top of median segment 
sometimes suffused with blackish above. Antenna light ferruginous, 
flagellum ochreous, ferruginous-ringed. Thorax ochreous-brovnish some- 
times mixed with fulvous. Abdomen pale whitish -ochreous or pale ochreous, 
brownish above, more or less tinged yellowish, anal tuft pale yellowish. 
Legs pale ochreous, suffused with yellowish, anterior tibia suffused with 
blackish. Fore wing with costa curved anteriorly, rather straight posteriorly, 
apex obtuse, termen slightly sinuate above, rounded and strongly pro- 
minent beneath. Deep tawny-ochreous, regularly and densely strigulated 
with light ochreous-fulvous or light brown, markings light chestnut- 
brown, somewhat suffused. A strongly suffused triangular patch on 1 / 3 of 
dorsum, reaching to fold; central fascia moderately broad, from 2 / 5 of 
costa to beyond 3 / 4 of dorsum, dilated below 1 / 3 of disc, slightly narrowed 
again below fold; inner edge of fascia straight and rather well-defined, 
outer edge suffused, often indefinite along its lower 3 / 4 ; costal patch large, 
chestnut-brown, triangular-dentiform, with elongate base extending from 
slightly beyond middle of costa almost to apex ; this patch reaching below 
to the stalk of veins 7 and 8, with a tooth-shaped, slightly curved, pointed 
and outwardly oblique projection from middle of lower edge of patch, 
pointing towards termen above tornus; top of this projection reaching to 
about vein 3; sometimes a cloudy indistinct brownish-greyish suffusion 
between costal patch and lower half of central fascia; tornus brighter 
yellowish; in one specimen about three irregular subterminal series of 
impressed dark brown short transverse strigulae form costa to tornus;
