MICROLEPIDOPTERA OP NEW GUINEA 
Antenna in female minutely pubescent. Palpus moderately long, sinuate, 
subascending; median segment with short, closely appressed scales, rather 
slender, gradually dilated posteriorly, slightly roughish above and at apex, 
with a few projecting marginal scales; terminal segment moderate, slender, 
subobtuse. Thorax without crest. Fore wing without raised scale-tufts, 
lb furcate to '/a, 2 from towards angle (from about 7 / 8 ), 3 from angle, 
4 separate, 3—5 tolerably equidistant, rather remote, 5 parallel, 7 to 
termen, 7—9 equidistant, distinctly separate, 10 closer to 9 than to 11, 
11 from 1 I- 1 , parting veins parallel, upper parting vein from halfway 
between 10 and 1 1 to below 7, lower parting vein from before 11 to below 5. 
Hind wing with cubital pecten, 2 from s / 5 , 3 from angle, 4 separate, slightly 
approximated, 5 remote, hardly approximated, 6 and 7 closely approxi-

mated towards base, 8 closely approximated to cell along basal third, 
then gradually diverging. 
Typus generis Crocostola hyperphyes spec, nov., female. 
An interesting form, quite distinct by peculiar origin of vein 2 in fore 
wing, and in this respect perhaps allied to Collogenes Meyrick, 1931, from 
the Bismarck Islands, but otherwise considerably differing in neuration. 
It also approaches Evora Heinrich, 1926, which in our opinion has 
incorrectly been sunk by Fletcher as a synonym of Argyroploce. Crocostola 
differs from Evora by not crested thorax, by still more distad shifted 
origin of vein 2 in fore wing (this vein originates in Evora from 3 / 4 ), by 
remote vein 5 and by separate veins 3 and 4 in hind wing (connate in 
Evora). 
^ 16 mm. Head and thorax orange-ochreous suffused with yellow, 
thorax posteriorly slightly infuscated, shoulder and palpus orange-fulvous.
