304 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA, XVIII., 



78. E. mesoleuca, Low. 



(Gelechia mesoleuca, Low., Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales, 1900, 

 48.) 



9. 22 mm. Head ochreous-white. Palpi white, lower half 

 of second joint blackish externally, terminal joint blackish. 

 Antennae dark fuscous, spotted with whitish. Thorax ochreous- 

 white, patagia and a central stripe blackish. Abdomen whitish. 

 Legs blackish-fuscous, obscurely whitish-ringed, posterior pair 

 whitish. Forewings dark fuscous; a rather broad irregular-edged 

 ochreous-white median streak from base to apex, margined with 

 black suffusion; plical stigma elongate, blackish, inserted in lower 

 edge of median streak, second discal black, placed in streak at § : 

 cilia fuscous-whitish, towards base with a few blackish scales, 

 above apex with a blackish bar. Hindwiugs whitish-grey, 

 becoming grey posteriorly; cilia fuscous-whitish. 



Gisborne, Victoria, in April; I have described Mr. Lower's 

 type-specimen. 



15. Anacampsis, Curt. 



Antennae 4, in $ simple, basal joint moderately elongate, with- 

 out pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved, second joint smooth- 

 scaled, terminal joint longer than second, acute. Forewings : 2 

 and 3 parallel, 6 and 7 out of 8, 7 tocosta. Hindwings under 1, 

 elongate-trapezoidal, apex acute, produced, termen deeply emar- 

 ginate, cilia 2^; 3 and 4 connate, 5 rather approximated to 4, 6 

 and 7 stalked. 



A rather small genus, principally European, represented in 

 Australia by one species only. I have retained the generally 

 recognised name of Anacampsis (to the use of which exception 

 has been taken by Lord Walsingham), because I consider it still 

 uncertain whether the name is not correctly applicable; but if 

 any entomologist prefers to employ the unfortunately compounded 

 title of Aproaerema, Durr., it is open to him to do so. Imago 

 with forewings elongate, pointed. The known European larvae 

 all feed on Leguminosoi.
