STUDIES IN AUSTRALIAN MICROLEPIDOPTERA. 

 By a. Jkfferis Turnrr, M.D., F.E.S. 



OECOPHORINiE. 



^Ir. E. Meyrick, F.R.S , has asked me to describe some species 

 of this group, which I have sent to him under MS names at 

 various times during the last twenty years; and he has very 

 kindly assisted me bv sending me a tabulation of the Australian 

 genera according to his most recent revision, not yet published, 

 I find that I have such a large number of undescribed species, 

 that, in the present paper, I can deal only with those belonging 

 to M r. Meyrick's groups Oecophorides and Eulecliriades, leaving 

 the Phifobofides and Depressariades for a future occasion. Unless 

 otherwise stated, the types of new species are in my Collection.
