934 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA, 



Sydney, New Soutli "Wales ; one specimen in March, beaten 

 from Eucalyptus. Although apparently nearest H. severa, the 

 species is extremely distinct.

Mount Lofty, South Australia ; two specimens received from

^$. 24-25 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax oi-ange-yellow ; apex
