142 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALASIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA, XIX., 



above and beneath. Forewings with tufts of scales on surface; 

 16 furcate, 2 and 3 stalked from angle, 7 to termen, 8 and 9 

 stalked, 10 approximated, 11 from before middle. Hindwings 

 1, elongate-ovate, apex pointed, termen sinuate beneath apex, 

 cilia |; 2-7 separate, tolerably parallel, with dense scale-pectens

Type 2\ calamias. A peculiar genus, belonging to the neigh- 

 bourhood of the Indian Dasyses and Autoniachae7'is; ap]»arently 

 characteristic of the islands of the Australasian region, as I have 

 not yet met with it elsewhere. The species require careful dis- 

 crimination. Their aspect suggests that the larvae may probably 

 feed on dead wood. All the species show on the forewings three 

 subdorsal tufts of scales, median tuft more remote from dorsum.
