92 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALASIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTKRA, XIX., 



strongly angulated transverse purple-black striae, irregularly 

 anastomosing especially in pairs so as to form a confused net- 

 work, on costa reduced to five, outer pairs enclosing a leaden-blue

 to near apex, where it unites with a wedge-shaped white black- 

 edged prseapical mark on costa; a small triangular white spot on 

 subapical sinuation, tipped with leaden-bhie and edged with 

 blackish; some irrej;ular black marks before termen on lower 

 half: cilia pale orange, on upper half of termen suffused with

27. Gebysa Walk. 



Head with appressed hairs, collar in g rough-haired; tongue 

 absent. Antennse 4, in ^ with very short pectinations terminating 

 in fascicles of long cilia, in 9 thickened with scales, especially 

 towards |, basal joint short. Labial palpi extremely short, 

 pointed, porrected, in ^ with long rough hairs, in 9 rough-scaled. 

 Maxillary palpi absent. Posterior tibiae short, smooth-scaled. 

 Forewings with 16 long-furcate, 2 from near angle/ 7 in ^ to 

 termen, in 9 to apex, 8 absent, 10 from near angle, 11 from 

 middle, secondary cell small, well-marked. Hindwings in ^J ] , 

 broad-ovate, cilia ^, in 9 25 elongate ovate, cilia |; 2-4 parallel, 4

A singular genus, which has hitherto been puzzling, but is 

 certainly in its right place here. Sezeris Walk., is a synonym. 

 The dissimilarity of the sexes is extraordinar}'.
