MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF NEW GUINEA 
Cilia bright bronze, becoming fuscous-blackish opposite apex and on 
costa, a large white bar below apex ; basal third along termen dark fuscous 
with pale grey base and short white bars, cilia opposite tornus white. 
Hind wing grey, darker towards apex in female, cilia paler grey with a 
dark grey antemedian shade. 
Uncus narrow, bifid. Socius moderate. Yalva strongly narrowed along 
central third, curved downward, cucullus triangularly truncate, without 
marginal teeth: sacculus rectangular. Aedoeagus long, curved (Slide No. 
777 D, holotype). 
Limen, a semiovate plate with somewhat thickened upper rim, a tri- 
angular, less sclerotised plate at each side of this plate. Cestum, a series of 
short longitudinal folds. Bursa copulatrix large (Slide No. 775 D, allotype). 
Top Camp, 2100 m, January 22, 1939 (holotype, male; allotype, female). 
Two specimens, male damaged. The markings on basal third of wing in 
both specimens are somewhat rubbed off and not distinct; however, this 
species can easily be recognised by the bronze ground colour and the 
polychrome cilia in fore wing. Intermediate between H. dendrosema 
spec. nov. and H. psimythographa spec. nov. 
Hermenias angulata spec. nov. 
$ 15 mm. Head white, sides of face and vertex black. Palpus black, 
inner side and upper edge of median segment white. Thorax white, a 
large subquadrate spot on shoulder, a small black median spot beyond 
middle and a marginal spot on each side towards apex (Abdomen missing). 
Legs greyish, suffused with dark grey, anterior tibia and tarsus with 
black, light -ringed. Fore wing elongate, moderately dilated, costa moder- 
ately curved at base, less curved towards apex, straight in middle, apex 
obtusely pointed, termen faintly concave above, oblique. Black, markings 
whitish. Costa except along basal fifth with about seven pairs of coarse 
slightly oblique, transverse marks, each pair sometimes narrowly inter- 
connected along costal edge; these marks becoming larger and less oblique 
posteriorly; base of dorsum and subcostal and terminal areas more or less 
mixed with whitish ; a broad dorsal white streak from beyond 3 / 4 , abruptly 
narrowed anteriorly, with a broad inwardly oblique projection reaching to 
fold beyond ’/ 5 of wing, followed above fold by a short longitudinal white 
mark; dorsal streak emarginate beyond this projection, angularly bent 
upward beyond 3 / 4 of dorsum and forming an inwardly oblique transverse 
streak to below and before 5 / g of costa, which almost touches the penultimate 
pair of costal marks; dorsal streak gradually narrowed above, angularly 
incised and almost interrupted above middle of disc anteriorly ; a moderate, 
elongate white spot in tornus, terminal area above this spot irrorated 
with whitish and suffused with grey stronger than any other black part 
of wing ; anterior edge of this area well-defined, concave below, angularly 
projecting in middle, thence running to terminal edge below apex; a
