In the case of species, at which the Hungarian material consists of females or slightly; damaged males only, I endeavoured to designate holotypes from the material of the Bernice I Pauahi Bishop Museum, as far as it was possible. In the description of species, the abbreviation EI is applied to the ratio of eye diameter and interocular distance in dorsal view. These measurements and the relative lengths of antennái segments are values measured directly by the ocular micrometer. The label data of holotypes are fully cited. The text of one label is in quotation marks and the different labels are separated by semicolon. Holotype labels are red with the following text: Holotypus, sex mark, generic and species name, Merkl, 1988. Data of paratypes are given in the sequence of locality, altitude (if possible), time of collecting, collecting method (if possible), name of collector(s). The number of specimens according to sexes and the abbreviation of repository are in parentheses. The paratype specimens are grouped in accordance of provinces of Papua New Guinea. Specimens collected in the western part of New Guinea mainland, (Irian Jaya) are neglected in this paper and never designated as paratypes. Paratype labels are yellow, with the text as in the holotype labels (of course, with Paratypus instead of Holotypus). To save space, the following further abbreviations and condensations seemed to be reasonable. On the one hand, an overwhelming part of the specimens was collected by the SEDLACEK's - the letters JS, MS and JHS mean J.. M. and J.H. SEDLACEK. On the other hand, by far the most specimens originate from Wau (Morobe Province) and it is felt superfluous to recite all - often quite nearby - altitudes and days of collecting. Therefore, the Wau specimens of the respective species are summarized, with an indication of lowest and highest altitudines, the first and last dates of collecting and a list of collectors. Acknowledgements. I am greatly indebted to all persons who provided me highly valuable lagriine material collected in New Guinea and it is a pleasure to supply their collections with type specimens. Their names are indicated in the list of original repositories (see above).. My special thanks are due to Miss Ágnes BARTQS for preparing the excellent habitus draw- 1 ings.
