MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF NEW GUINEA 
21 
species captured during the expedition, confirm our opinion that this is 
the true female of the present species. 
Neocalyptis Diakonoff, 1941 
Neocalyptis Diakonoff, 1941, Treubia, vol. 18, p. 407, fig. 2. 
The following species is doubtlessly congeneric with N. telutanda 
Diakonoff and N. rotundata Diakonoff, from Java, judging by the 
male genitalia which are in all three very similar (cf. l.c., pi. 18, f. 5 and 
pi. 19, f. 2), and also by the facies. However, the neuration in fore wing 
in the present species is differing in some respects, and the description of 
the genus must be extended accordingly, as follows: 
Fore wing sometimes with a narrow costal fold, without scaletufts, 
vein 3 from before angle, sometimes from angle, 4 and 5 approximated or 
almost connate, 7 and 8 stalked, or sometimes separate. 
Coremata large. Tegumen erect-triangular. Uncus rather narrow, point 
long, moderately broad. Socius pending, large. Gnathos slender, long, 
hook slender, little curved. Transtilla paired, its knobs forming strong, 
characteristic labides: sclerotized, and with a curved and dentate top. 
Aedoeagus little curved. Socii, a sheaf of strong spines. 
The genus is intermediate between Epcigoge Hubner and Syndemis 
Hubner and possibly is also related to Procalyptis Meyrick. Structurally 
it approaches Cnephasia Curtis, but can be separated by rather short 
palpi, and stalked veins 3 and 4 in hind wing. 
Neocalyptis monotonia spec. nov. (fig. 255) 
yovo = one, r epva> — to cut 
$ 14 mm. Head, palpus, antenna and thorax pale ochreous. Abdomen 
ochreous, suffused with grey, venter blackish-fuscous. Legs pale ochreous, 
suffused with fuscous. Fore wing with vein 3 from angle, 4 and 5 closely 
approximated at base, 7 and 8 separate; elongate-subovate, moderately 
broad, broadest in middle, costa with a very narrow fold to beyond J / 3 , 
curved throughout, apex little rounded, termen slightly sinuate, oblique, 
dorsum rather curved. Pale ochreous, irrorated with brownish-black small 
dots and transverse strigulae, and with a few fulvous scales. Costal fold 
suffused with greyish, indistinctly transversely strigulated with darker; 
central fascia narrow, almost linear, from 1 / 3 of costa to 3 / 4 of dorsum, 
tolerably straight, anterior edge slightly undulate, with a small angulation 
in middle; this fascia blackish-brown, posteriorly mixed with bright 
fulvous, on dorsum suffused with lighter brownish and becoming in- 
distinct; wing before fascia paler, with oblique ill-defined series of sparse 
blackish points, beyond fascia slightly evenly suffused with greyish, this 
suffusion somewhat more distinct in middle of disc, and mixed with a few 
fulvous scales; wing transversely strigulated with minute interrupted 
brownish-black lines and rows of dots; a small narrow inwardly oblique
