MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF NEW GUINEA

Hampson, fall as synonyms of the obscure and awkward Pseudogalleria. 
A few months ago an excellent revision of the species of “Grypto- 
phlebia” was presented by Mr. J. D. Bradley (Bull. Entom. Research, 
vol. 43, pp. 679—689, figs. 1—8, pi. 24—25, January 1953). This paper, 
based on the study of the genitalia in the two sexes, clears up the chaotic 
confusion arisen in the past over the identities of some species belonging 
to this group. We are grateful to be able now to make use of Mr. Bradley’s 
results. 
Mr. Bradley records the following species of “Cryptophlebia” from the 
Papuan region: 
Carpocapsa repletana Walker, 1863 (List Lep. Ins. B. M., vol. 28, 
p. 412) (syn.: Argyroploce trichosema Meyrick, 1914, and A. tetraploca 
Meyrick, 1928). 
Argyroploce strepsibathra Meyrick, 1928 (Exot. Microlep., vol. 3, 
p. 446). 
Argyroploce phaeacma Meyrick, 1931 (l.c., vol. 4, p. 129). 
Argyroploce encarpa Meyrick, 1920 (l.c., vol. 2, p. 349). 
Platypeplus rhynchias Meyrick, 1905 (Journ. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc., 
vol. 16, p. 586). 
Mr. Bradley also records toxogramma which will be discussed below. 
Perhaps also “Arothrophora (?)” ombrodelta Lower, 1898, (syn.: Grypto- 
phlebia carpophaga Walsingitam, 1899), may be mentioned here. This 
species is recorded by Mr. Bradley from South India, Ceylon, Formosa, 
Java, Siam, Philippine Islands, Guam, Dampier Island and Australia, 
and it seems very probable that it also may occur in the Papuan region, 
as this is defined by us in this paper. 
Because the above mentioned species are variable as to the colouring 
and markings, and also sexually dimorphous, we prefer to abstain from 
giving a key for the separation of all of them ; the following short key will 
be sufficient for the separation of the three species discussed here. 
Key to the three species of Pseudogalleria discussed below. 
1. Subapical transverse fascia violet-fuscous, interrupted before termen; markings 
beyond this fascia tawny -ochreous amelliystina spec. nov. 
This fascia dark fuscous, not interrupted: markings beyond fascia tawny or 
fuscous ^ 
2. Apical half of wing with about seven parallel complete transverse lines . . 
toxogramma Meybick 
Apical half of wing with one dark transverse fascia and a series of irregular 
interrupted lines toxotis spec. nov.
