150 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN MICRO -LEPIDOPTERA, 



white spot, middle tibiae slightly thickened with black median and 

 apical bands, posterior tibiae stiff-haired with blackish apical and 

 subapical bands, all tarsi with five black rings. Fore-wings 

 rather pale golden-brown, with a fascia and four spots snow-white 

 black-margined ; first spot on inner margin almost at base, black- 

 margined externally only, fascia-like, rather oblique, not reaching 

 costa, indistinct above ; fascia before^, somewhat oblique inwardly, 

 narrow on costa, gently dilated to fold, where it is much less broad 

 than in calicella, thence parallel-sided ; second spot on costa before 

 f , very small ; third very large, acute-triangular, on inner margin 

 at anal angle, its apex only separated from second spot by the 

 black margins ; fourth forming an oblique subapical streak from 

 costa to middle of hind margin ; cilia fuscous-grey, with two 

 black streaks radiating from apex at an obtuse angle, the lower 

 produced backwards into white costal cilia. Hind- wings and cilia 

 fuscous-grey. 



Allied to the three preceding species, but with only one complete 

 fascia ; very nearly allied to the following calicella, Stt., but 

 immediately known by the absence of one of the costal spots, as 

 well as the narrower fascia. Taken rather freely on a fence in 

 Sydney in October, during windy weather ; the larva is probably 

 attached to some species of Eucalyptus.
