OXYCOPHINA; MOROVA; MICROBELIA. By M. Gaede. 
20. Genus: ©xycophina Warr. 
Forewing with a very oblique cross-vein, the cell is parted by a fold. All the veins separated. Antennae 
exceptionally pectinate. Hind tibiae flattened, with strong spines. 
theorina. 0. theorina Meyr. (= fenestrata Pagst., subfenestrata Warr.) (93 e). Forewing greyish-yellow with 
rusty brown bands, the first 2 of which are narrower, extra-angular below the costal margin. The following 
band widened behind the cell and more extra-angular, the last parallel to it and narrower. A rusty yellow hue 
at the anal angle. Bands of hindwing alternatively rusty yellow and rusty red. The middle band is darkest, 
inside to it small, distally larger hyaline spots. The $ is as dark as the £ or also much lighter yellow. 40—56 mm. 
Aru, New Guinea, Key Is., Queensland. 
21. Genus: Morova Wkr. 
Palpi short, porrect. Antennae of <$ somewhat thickened. Forewing concave in the middle of the costal 
margin, apex projecting. Veins 8 + 9 on a short stalk, the others separate. Hindwing excurved at the middle 
of the distal margin, vein 5 arises far in front. 
subfascia- M. subfasciata Wkr. (= gallicolens Btlr.) (93 e). Forewing yellowish-red, with a somewhat violet 
ta ' shine and numerous dark brown striae. A band from behind the middle of the costal margin to the middle 
of the inner margin, where it is narrower, slightly darker than the surface of the wing. It is continued 
on the hindwing as a narrow median band. 25—28 mm. New Zealand, Fidji Is. 
22. Genus: Microfeelia Warr. 
Forewing elongate, apex pointed. All the veins stalkless. Separated from Rhodoneura by the somewhat 
shorter palpi. Marking and size of the lepidoptera as variable as in Rhodoneura. Type: curvinota^ Warr. 
curvinota. M. curvinota Warr. (93 f). $ brownish ochreous with 5 brown spots at the costal margin, from which 
transverse bands proceed, turning blackish in and below the cell. Lighter behind the second band than in the 
other places. The third and fourth bands are united forming a Y. The fifth is black and excurved to the centre 
of the distal margin. Hindwing straw-coloured in the basal third, with a blackish-brown basal band. A dark 
yellow spot at the anal angle. The first band is not present in the $, the second only present at the costal 
margin. The Y-shaped bands strong, all red-brown. Behind them a row of blackish dots and the black patch 
to the centre of the margin. Hindwing light yellow. Traces of a basal line and a broad median line at the 
inner margin. 15—20 mm. New Guinea. 
tetragly- M. tetraglyphica Warr. (93 f). This species having been captured at the same time with curvinota 
phica. ) ias apparently only been denominated by Warren, not described. By the band-marking it is somewhat like 
Rhod. funesta, lepida etc. Ground-colour greyish-brown, lustrous. Four parallel curved lines at the base. Interior 
band vertical to the costal margin, below it rectilinear somewhat inwards, with a dark red-brown spot below 
the cell. The median band is broadly forked below the cell and very dark there. The distal band is united with 
the middle band at the costal margin, in the bow vertical to the anal angle. Subapical band straight, in the 
lower half with a dark patch to the margin. Hindwing somewhat darker with traces of a median band, a red- 
brown shadow before the apex. $ 20 mm. New Guinea, 1500 m. 
The following species are smaller and quite differently marked, similar to Hyp: striatalis. 
intimalis. M. intimalis Mr. Yellowish-brown. Forewing with numerous light brown bands. Hindwing somewhat 
darker and therefore with rather distinct bands, only a dark grey median band more prominent. 16 mm. 
compuncta- Calcutta. — compunctalis Warr. (93 f) shows real bands only in the anterior part of the forewing, becoming 
lis - linear towards the inner margin. Costal margin whitish at the apex. A vertical black streak at the cross-vein. 
Hindwing light at the costal margin, the median band only distinct at the inner margin as far as the black discal 
ulterior, clot. A blackish-brown band-like spot at the anal angle. 16 mm. Khasia Mts. — ulterior Warr. (93 f) described 
as a species, but ranged here later on, makes quite the impression of a separate species. Somewhat similar 
to Rh. emblicalis (92 f) according to the author. Forewing pale whitish ochreous with pale brown marking. 
Three small dark dots at the costal margin near the base and one behind the middle. These dots are absent 
in the specimen at hand from Tring. A dark streak before the apex and, opposite to it at the inner margin, 
the beginning of a band. Band-like spots before the distal margin. More extensive branched bands on the 
hindwing, especially in the marginal area. A black streak at the cross-vein. 15 mm. Khasia Mts. — The type 
of intimalis has but very faint traces of a vertical subapical band on the forewing, being extra-angular to the 
centre of the margin. It is very distinct in a specimen from the Coll. Pagenstecher, but its habitat is 
not stated. 
(jiulia. M. giulia Swh. (= fasciata Warr.) (93 f) resembles a larger, more reel-brown intimalis. Light and 
dark brown spots at the costal margin of the forewing. The red-brown transverse bands are very indistinctly
