420 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTEKA, XVIII., 



tufted towards apex beneath, terminal joint twice as long as 

 second, posteriorly with a scale-projection towards apex, acute. 

 Forewings : 2 and 3 remote, parallel, 6 to apex, 7 and 8 stalked. 

 Hindwings li, trapezoidal, apex obtuse, termen hardly sinuate, 

 cilia J; 3 and 4 connate, 5 closely approximated to -4, 6 and 7 

 stalked, 8 remote from cell, connecting bar long and conspicuous; 

 in (J with hairpencil lying along costa from base beneath fore- 

 wings. 



Allied to the preceding genus and the Anarsia group, but 

 especially to the European Chelaria, from which it differs chiefly 

 in neuration, the palpi being quite similar, and the general resem- 

 blance considerable. Imago with forewings elongate.
