Outer part of forewing. Fig. 49 Micropterix anglica sp. nov. Holotype, In. 17411. Fig. 50 Microlepidoptera family uncertain sp. A, (b= bristle). Fig. 51 Copromorpha gypsota Meyrick. Recent, Fiji. Wing venation. Fig. 52 Copromorpha Jossi/is sp. nov. Holotype, (Scale line = 2 mm. Figs 51-52 are to same scale.) Remarks. The homoneurous type of venation and vein details agree with the extant genus Micropterix. The absence of crossveins sc-r and m-cu is probably due to preservational failure, as they may be weakly developed in Recent micropterigids. The fossil differs from 'Micropterix'1 proavitella Rebel (Baltic amber) in that Sc forks more apically and Rj is unbranched (cf. Rebel 1935 : fig. 17). It approaches the Recent British species Micropterix [ = Eriocephala] calthella (Linnc) but differs principally in that SC( is shorter and appears to originate more apically of the origin of R, compared with the latter (cf. Meyrick 1928 : figure on p. 873)..
