MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF PHILIPPINE ISLANDS 205
fascia, from 2/3 of costa, upper half gently and regularly curved, outwards-convex,
lower half straight, sharply twice rectangularly bent at
2/3; finally a gradually sinuate, moderately broad preterminal fascia,
from apex to tornus, outwards concave above, convex beneath; spaces
between lines in middle of wing slightly touched with pale purplish
pink, so is the "ocellus" on end of cell, being a vertical erect-suboval
pale spot,
followed by a few fuscous marks, space beyond ultimate
transverse fascia partly mbced with dark fuscous on lower half.
Cilia
ochreous, along costa and opposite apex and middle of termen, suffused
with black throughout, basal third black.
Hmdmng fuscous mth an —i
-shaped central mark, long slender leg
along lower edge of cell from beyond base, short, broad leg along closing
vein; an irregular yellow band along lower half of termen, a similar
spot opposite tornus, a narrow marginal streak along dorsiun from
well beyond base. Cilia bright orange ochreous, basal third dark
fuscous.
Male genitalia:
Tegumen triangular, bipartite (or broken in two at
the top?). Transtilla subquadrate, each labis, a rounded, concave
lobe, with a minutely haired surface. Vincidum rounded-triangidar,
arms strong, middle a broad plate. Valva broad, semioval, slightly
dilated; sacculus well separated, under 1/2, imarmed.
Cucullus spiny
on apical third, bristles of diverse shape and size; a separated cluster of
spines just above top of sacculus.
The second syntype, a female, without abdomen, is labelled
"Kosempo (Formosa), H. Sauter, X.1911," "F 113," "Meyrick det.,"
"Dtsch. Entomol. Institut Berlin." Although marked "Typus" this
specimen ranges only as syntype (DEI). The syntype retained by
Meyrick was preferable for the selection, being an intact male specimen.
