186 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN TORTRICINA, 



ciliations 1. Abdomen dark giey. Forewings elongate, eosta 

 gently arched, without fold, apex round-pointed, termen slightly 

 sinuate, oblique; glossy fuscous; about seven or eight irregular 

 rather oblique dark fuscous striae strewn with whitish-yellowish 

 brassy-tinged linear scales, and two or three additional strigse 

 towards costa : cilia fuscous. Hindwings rather dark fuscous; 

 cilia grey, with darker subbasal shade. Undersurface of hind- 

 wings suifused with whitish. 



9. Palpi whitish beneath. Thorax partially suffused with 

 yellow-whitish. Forewings with striae stronger and blacker, 

 more largely mixed and suffused with yellow-whitish; ground- 

 colour paler, towards costa suffused with white, but with basal 

 patch, central fascia, and a transverse semioval costal patch 

 darker fuscous. 



Tasm. : Hobart (Norman), Zeehan (Findlay), Deloraine ; in 

 October and November, three specimens, viz , Lower's original 

 female type, and two males, which notwithstanding the apparent 

 dissimilarity, owing to the absence of white suffusion, I think are 

 probably referal)le here. 



78. C. parastactis, n.sp. 



(J. 12-14 mm. Head and palpi grey. Antennal ciliations 

 minute. Thorax whitish-ochreous, more or less mixed with pale 

 grey except on patagia, tips of patagia whitish. Abdomen grey. 

 Forewings elongate, costa moderately arched, without fold, apex 

 round-pointed, termen sinuate, oblique; rather light glossy grey; 

 about seven or eight irregular much broken oblique transverse 

 blackish-fuscous lines suffu.sedly edged with pale ochreous- 

 yellowish, one from ^ of costa to tornus forming a thicker entire 

 streak : cilia light glossy grey, tips whitish. Hindwings grey; 

 cilia whitish-grey, with grey basal line. 



2- Forewings with groundcolour largely suffused with white, 

 except on a moderate central fascia, and triangular costal patch 

 confluent with the dark postmedian streak. 



Tasm.: Deloraine; in November and December, eight specimens. 

 Nearly allied to C. pentazona, but differs structurally by the 

 minute antennal ciliations of ^.
