294 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN TORTRICINA. 



Antennae in ^ dentate, moderately ciliated, basal joint with 

 apical scale-tooth anteriorly. Pal|>i long, porrected, second joint 

 above with projecting scales diminishing to apex, terminal joint 

 in (J moderate, in 9 long. Thorax with crest. Forewings with 

 tufts of scales on surface; 3 from angle, 7 to termen, 8 and D 

 stalked, closely approximated to 7 at base. Hindwings with 3 

 and 4 connate or short-stalked, 5 approximated to 4 at base, 6 

 and 7 closely approximated towards base. 



An interesting endemic genus, clearly indicating affinity with 

 the Ar-gy roploce-gr oup of the Eucosmidce, from which I consider 

 the Tortricidce to have been derived; the genus Articolla in that 

 group is structurally very similar, with 8 and 9 of forewings 

 stalked. 



290. M. flexanimana Meyr. 



(Mictonenra Jlexanimana Meyr., Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, 

 1881, 420.) 



The colouring would have been better described as fuscous 

 with the base of all scales whitish, producing the effect of fine 

 striation. 



N.S.W.: Newcastle, Sydney; from September to December. 



This concludes the family Tortricidce; the remaining families 

 will be given in a second instalment to follow shortly, and a full 

 index to all generic and specific names in both instalments will 

 accompany this.
