ciliations in (^ 1. Abdomen dark grey. Forewings elongate, 

 moderate, costa gently arched, in ^ without fold, apex obtuse, 

 termen sliijhtly rounded, oblique; fuscous, with a faint purplish 

 tinge; about 9-10 coarse oblique striae of black irroration more or 

 less mixed with deep ferruginous; in the ^ example there is 

 some irregular whitish irroration between these, especially in the 

 space between basal patch and central fascia, and towards costa 

 beyond central fascia : cilia fuscous mixed with paler, with a 

 blackish antemedian line. Hindwings rather dark fuscous; cilia 

 fuscous, with a darker subbasal shade. 



Tasm.: Mount Wellington, 1200 feet, in December; two speci- 

 mens. This and the next species are best distinguished from the 

 other similar obscure species which follow, by the absence of 

 costal fold in ^. 



37. I. pumicosa, n.sp. 



(J. 1 2 mm. Head and thorax ashy-fuscous. Palpi dark fuscous, 

 with some whitish scales. Antennal ciliations J. Abdomen 

 dark grey. Forewings elongate, costa without fold, gently 

 arched, apex obtuse, termen almost straight, oblique; ashy- 

 fuscous; about ten coarse irregular oblique striee of black irrora- 

 tion somewliat mixed with ferruginous scales, on costal edge 

 separated by whitish scales : cilia fuscous with a dark fuscous 

 antemedian shade, base whitish. Hindwings rather dark fuscous, 

 darker posteriorly; cilia fuscous, with dark fuscous subbasal 

 shade. 



Vic: Mount St. Bernard, 5000 feet, in February(Lyell); type 

 in Coll. Lyell. Diflers from /. encotodes by much shorter cilia- 

 tions of antennae in ^, therefore certainly distinct; smaller and 

 darker, with much less ferruginous admixture, and central fascia 

 not obviously defined.
