942 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN MICRO-LBPIDOPTERA, 



and pale ochreous. Fox'ewings elongate-oblong, costa moderately 

 arched, apex obtuse, hindmargin somewhat oblique, straight, 

 rounded beneath ; pale flesh-colour ; a dull reddish dot in disc at 

 ^, a second on fold somewhat beyond first, both very inconspicu- 

 ous, and a third more distinct in disc beyond middle ; faint indica- 

 tions of a posterior series : cilia pale flesh-colour. Hindwings pale 

 ochreous-grey ; cilia ochreous-whitish, with a faint grey line. 



Victoria ; one specimen (Coll. Lucas). Falls under same head 

 with //. leucerythra, from which it is distinguished by the pale 

 grey (not whitish) hindwings, and the inconspicuous reddish (not 

 dark fuscous) dots of forewings ; it is also much larger. 



539. (65a.) IIo2}l. colonias, n. sp. 



(J^. 18-21 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax greyish-fleshcolour. 

 Antennae in ,^ dark grey, in J fleshcolour, annulated with black. 

 Abdomen grey. Legs dark grey, obscurely ringed with whitish, 

 posterior tibise whitish. Forewings elongate-oblong, costa gently 

 arched, apex obtuse, hindmargin rather obliquely rounded ; light 

 ochreous, with a light rosy suffusion towards base and apex, with 

 a few grey scales ; a grey suffusion forming a streak along anterior 

 half of costa, an angulated line from | of costa to anal angle, and 

 an apical patch produced along hindmargin to near anal angle, its 

 edge parallel to line ; a very lax'ge dark fuscous narrowly white- 

 margined semicircular blotch extending on inner margin from I 

 almost to anal angle, reaching nearly | across wing ; a dark 

 fuscous dot on posterior margin of this beyond middle : cilia rosy, 

 posteriorly mixed with grey. Hindwings and cilia grey. 



Bairnsdale, Victoria ; two specimens (Coll. Lucas). Widely 

 distinct from all others by the peculiar large well-defined dark 

 dorsal blotch ; most allied to //. ahsumptella.

The definition of this genus must be widened to include species 

 in which veins 3 and 4 of the hindwings are separate at origin ; 

 this structure is exceptional, but is found in some individuals of
