anteriorly; some ochreous suffusion towards apex, edged on costa 

 with blackish : cilia ochreous-whitish, with a blackish median 

 line round apex. Hindwings grey; cilia ochreous-grey-whitish. 



Sydney, New South Wales, in March and April; five specimens. 

 Differs from S. oroj^hota by the smaller size, less posteriorly 

 narrowed fore wings, whiter groundcolour, shorter costal blotch, 

 and more developed stigmata. 



49. Anarsia, Zell. 



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

 out pecten. Labial palpi with scales of second joint forming a 

 dense projecting tuft beneath, terminal joint in ^ very short, 

 concealed, in 9 longer than second, ascending, acute. Forewings : 

 2 and 3 separate, parallel, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa. Hindwings 

 1, trapezoidal, termen hardly sinuate, cilia f-l^; 3 and 4 connate 

 or approximated, 5 rather approximated to 4, 6 and 7 stalked or 

 seldom approximated. 



A small genus, containing five European and Asiatic species, 

 one of which has been introduced into America; probably others 

 will be found in the Indo-Malayan region. In some of these 

 vein 6 of the forewings rises out of 7 near base, but this 

 character does not appear in any of the Australian species. In 

 this genus the secondary sexual structures of the males often 

 afford good distinctions. Imago with forewings elongate.
