MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF NEW GUINEA 
retination sometimes confluent, so as to form a suffusion on dorsum before 
tornus, reaching halfway across wing; in male costa suffused with dark 
lilac-grey, except along lower edge; a dark lilac-grey elongate, semiovate 
moderate patch on dorsum before tornus; terminal edge slightly darker 
fulvous-greyish, glossy. Cilia glossy greyish-fulvous; base of cilia with a 
moderate deep fulvous-greyish band. Hind wing whitish, faintly tinged 
with pale ochreous posteriorly; cilia coneolorous. 
Hook of uncus with rounded top, which is not constricted, like that in 
scintillans. Socius smaller than in that species. Valva longer, posteriorly 
narrower, and more curved; sacculus with a small marginal hook in 
middle (Slide No. 476 D, holotype). 
Ostium moderate. Limen, a strong transverse band, with transverse, 
finely rippled structure; extremities of limen rounded; a large, weakly 
sclerotised plate covering limen from ventral side, with lower edge rounded, 
and with a transverse fold in middle. Ductus bursae long, noth punctulate 
wall above, narrow, simple beneath. Bursa copulatrix invert. Signum, a 
large serrate hook (Slide No. 477 D, allotype). 
Moss Forest Camp, five km northeast of Lake Habbema, 2800 m, 
October 14, 1938 (holotype, male), October 15, 1938 (allotype, female), 
and October 24, 1938. One male, three females.

akdme£ = fox 
$ 16.5 mm. Head and thorax light ochreous, suffused with pale fulvous. 
Palpus pale ochreous, densely regularly irrorated with dark grey. Antenna 
dark grey, pale-ringed. Abdomen whitish, faintly touched with ochreous, 
anal tuft white. Legs whitish, anterior and median tibia and tarsus dark 
fuscous, pale-ringed. Fore wing with a narrow costal fold to beyond 
middle; elongate-truncate, moderately dilated, costa gradually gently 
curved throughout, apex subobtuse, termen faintly excavate above, 
rounded beneath, hardly oblique. Deep tawny-ochreous, dull, scattered 
with rather indistinct, rounded glossy greyish-fulvous patches throughout, 
except below costal fold, and along dorsum; these patches forming a 
moderate sinuate irregular vertical transverse band beyond 2 / 3 from costa 
to dorsum, beyond this band patches smaller, rather sparse, intemeural, 
forming about three sinuate transverse striae; first stria broadest, con- 
nected with transverse band by a branch above middle; a minute dark 
brown point on middle of discoidal vein; costal fold suffused with dark 
glossy-grey, except along its lower edge, and transversely finely strigulated 
with fulvous; dorsal edge of wing finely dotted with fulvous-greyish. Cilia 
light ferruginous, barred with pale ochreous. Hind wing whitish, touched 
with pale ochreous towards apex; cilia coneolorous. 
Tegumen broad, rounded. Hook of uncus gradually narrowed from 
beyond middle towards top. Socius long, slender, pending. Gnathos 
slender, pending, narrow, hook indefinite. Transtilla with a small median
