226 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA, 



all tarsi and apex of posterior tibise entirely dark fuscous. Fore- 

 wings moderately elongate, gradually dilated nearly to apex, 

 hind-margin slightly oblique, rounded beneath ; pale wkitish- 

 ochreous, suffused with darker ochreous, and thinly sprinkled 

 with blackish -scales ; a very broad whitish subcostal band, thinly 

 sprinkled with black scales, from base to costa just before apex, 

 completely covering costa except a very narrow strip from i to f ; 

 this subcostal band is margined beneath from £ to apex by a 

 rather broad cloudy fuscous-grey streak, mixed with blackish ; 

 second line barely indicated by an obsolete prolongation of this 

 cloud towards anal angle ; a row of dark fuscous scales along 

 hind-margin : cilia fuscous-grey, paler towards tips, with indistinct 

 rows of whitish points. Hind- wings unicolorous pale grey, hind- 

 marginal line clear dark fuscous ; cilia pale grey, towards anal 

 angle whitish, with strong dark fuscous parting-line. 



This species bears considerable superficial resemblance to the 

 South European Pemp. sororiella, Z., but, besides the structural 

 differ ences, is without the distinct first and second lines of that 

 insect. 



One male taken at light, Parramatta, in October.
