costal margin. Fringe white, basal line grey. Distal margin in the <$ more incurved. Hindwing with 3 gre} r 
bands nearing each other at the anal angle, the interior line straight, the others bent. A spot in the dent, one 
on vein 3. Beneath the apex and inner margin of the forewing are white. Expanse: 50—60 mm. Borneo. 
M. sinuosa Warr. (72 f). Similar to acuieata. Recognizable by the strong bend of vein 1 in the forewing. 
Dingy wiiite. Interior ochreous brown band faded, median band slightly curved, otherwise like the exterior 
one parallel to the distal margin. Fringe white with a dark basal line. Hindwing with a curved median band, 
a curved and dentate exterior band. A large spot in the dent, a fine one on vein 3. Before it the marginal line 
with 2 spots. Expanse: 38—45 mm. Sula-Mangoli, Borneo, Palawan, Mindanao, Celebes. 
M. discata Warr. (= doddsiana Luc.). Similar to a small pale sinuosa (72 f). Recognizable by the brown 
discal spot on the forewing and hindwing . Expanse: 22—30 mm. Queensland. According to Titrxer it belongs 
to the genus P'seudomicronia. 
M. fuscifimbria Warr. (72 f). Eorewing white with feeble ochreous brown streaks. Costal margin 
finely dotted brown. Median and exterior bands parallel and distinct, interior band faded. Hindwing with a 
broad brown median and a notched submarginal band. A small black spot at the base of the little tail, a large 
one before if. Fringe brown. Beneath white. Expanse: 36—42 mm. Tenimber, Cooktown. 
M. strigifera Warr. Eorewing white with irregular pale brown striae, marginal line pale brown. 
Sometimes an inferior, median and exterior greyish-brown line recognizable. — In crassistriga Warr. the lines 
are broad more distinct bands. On the hindwing only the margin with striae. Median and exterior lines 
distinct. Expanse: 48—52 mm. British New r Guinea. 
M. justaria Wkr. (= tristriata Pag. '*.*), ithygramma Meyr.) (72 d). Forewing wiiite. At the costal 
margin with delicate brown dots, 3 pale brown bands parallel to the distal margin, not cpiite reaching the costal 
margin, from %, behind the middle and % of the inner margin. Marginal line fine black. Hindwing with an 
indistinct interior band, the third bent and nearing the median band at the anal angle. Marginal line black, 
at the veins thickened. A round black spot before the dent, an oblong one in the dent, $ beneath brownish, 
$ white. Expanse: 42—50 mm. Batjan, Waigeu, New Guinea. 
M. interrupta Pag. according to the description resembles justaria above, but the 2 is said to be brownish 
beneath, and it is much smaller. Expanse: 36 mm. Bismarck Archipelago. A questionable species. 
M. dilatistriga Warr. Also similar t<3 justaria, but distinguished by the broad ochreous grey bands. 
The median one is strongest, sometimes curved. At the costal margin the dark spots are altogether absent, 
being so very distinct especially at the apex in justaria. In the hindwing the spot and streak at the little tail 
are but feebly developed. Beneath the A is grey, only at the apex white. Expanse: 50—52 mm. Salomons Is. 
It is probably only a form of justaria. It may be that Strophidia bigthana Drc. is identical with it. 
M. punctatissima sp.nov. (72 g). Wings lactean, densely dotted yellowish-brown. Costal margin of 
fore wing spotted somewhat darker. Two very indistinctly outlined bands from behind the middle and % of 
the inner margin to the apex (thus similar to Acropteris). Both are continued on the hindwing as slightly curved 
interior and median bands. Exterior band strongly notched, behind it a submarginal band of streaks. Marginal 
line black, thickened at the veins. In the little tail a large black spot. Forewing beneath brownish, apex and 
inner margin white, hindwing white. Expanse: 45 mm. Mindanao. Type in the Berlin Museum. 
M. zebrata Warr. Eorewing white, at the costal margin large black streaks. Separated from all the 
other species by 6 oblique thick brownish-grey stripes crossing the wing. Of these stripes the first, second and 
fourth are broader than the others. The sixth partly consists of streaks. Marginal line black. Hindwing with 4 
stripes, the first 3 broad. Ail nearing each other near the anal angle and connected by a grey streak at vein 1. 
Below the tail 3 black marginal dots. Expanse: 50 mm. New' Guinea.
