EXOTIC M1CROLEPID© PTERA. 
anterior half of dorsum and a fascia from middle of disc to dorsum 
before tornus ; cilia rosv-brown somewhat mixed whitish. Hind- 
wings and cilia whitish-rosy. 
Hutch New Guinea, Upper Setekwa R., Snow Mts., 2-3000 feet, 
September (Meek) ; 1 ex. (Coll. Paravicini). Differs from the other 
species of the genus in having vein 9 separate, but as this same 
point of variation occurs in the nearly allied Paralecta , it does not 
appear to require a new genus. 
Paralecta electrophanes, n. sp. 
c?. 22 mm. Head, palpi white, posteriorly tinged grey. Fore¬ 
wings elongate-triangular, costa slightly arched, apex obtuse, 
termen hardly perceptibly sinuate, rather oblique ; light violet-grey, 
base suffused white, costal edge white, on basal fourth more 
broadly suffused white; a triangular blotch of darker greyish- 
violet suffusion on dorsum before middle, enclosing a faint ochreous- 
whitish erect wedgeshaped spot on dorsum ; a greyish-violet angu- 
lated shade crossing wing at |; an undefined terminal fascia of

tinctoria. 
Paralecta nephelodelta, n. sp. 
cf . 24 mm. Head ochreous-white. Palpi white, tinged ochreous 
towards base. Antennal ciliations 1. Thorax ochreous-white,

of fuscous suffusion, extending on dorsum from near base to beyond 
middle, its apex reaching to near costa beyond middle ; irregularly 
scattered grey or fuscous scales, indicating a very indefinite straight 
subterminal shade ; terminal edge suffused light grey : cilia whitish, 
a subbasal series of dark grey dots, tips tinged coppery-brownish. 
Hindwings whitish-grey, terminal edge suffused greyer; cilia

Dutch New Guinea, Mt. Goliath, 5-7000 feet (Meek) ; 1 ex. 
(Coll. Paravicini). Allied to chalarodes , but certainly distinct. 
Acria psaxnatholeuca, n. sp. 
2 . 19 mm. Head, thorax wTntish-ochreous. Palpi whitish, 
terminal joint with dark grey ring towards apex. Forewings sub¬ 
oblong, costa gently, arched, with small scale-projections at | and

rounded beneath ; whitish-ochreous, faintly tinged or sprinkled pale 
reddish-ochreous in disc and towards termen; small spots of
