556 DESCRIPTIONS OP AUSTRALIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA, 



An endemic development of Tinea, from which it differs 

 essentially by the loss of several veins. I have only been able to 

 fully examine the neuration of the first species ; of the other two 

 I possess only single specimens, and they are so small and narrow- 

 winged that I cannot see the neuration satisfactorily without 

 denudation, but it seems notwithstanding to be similar ; the 

 excessive narrowness of the wings in these two species makes it 

 improbable that the neuration is less degraded than in the first, 

 and in any case they can be distinguished from Tinea by the 

 linear hindwings.

(^9. 7-8 mm. Head white, crown spotted with dark fuscous. 

 Palpi dark fuscous. Antennae white, obscurely ringed with dark 

 fuscous. Thorax white, sprinkled with dark fuscous. Abdomen 

 whitish-grey. Legs dark fuscous, apex of joints and hairs of 

 posterior tibise whitish. Forewings elongate-lanceolate ; white, 

 with scattered dark fuscous strigulse ; markings dark fuscous ; an 

 oblique mark from costa at \, a second from costa before middle, 

 reaching half across wing and confluent with a longitudinal mark 

 in disc, a small spot on costa beyond middle, and an oblique mark 

 from costa at f , confluent with a longitudinal mark in disc ; a spot 

 on submedian fold at ^, and a longitudinal mark on fold beyond 

 middle : cilia white, with three or four lines of dark fuscous 

 points. Hindwings lanceolate, cilia 3 ; grey ; cilia whitish-grey. 



Sydney, New South Wales ; in December and January, five 

 specimens. Larva feeds in a portable case on lichens on rocks, 

 fences, &c. ; case small, cylindrical, apex rather tapering, granu- 

 lated with fragments of lichen and minute grains of sand, mouth 

 large, very oblique.
