blackisli-fuscous, tibiae with wMtisli-yellow central and apical 

 spots, tarsi with apex of first three joints whitish-yellow, two 

 apical joints wholly whitish. Fore-wings rather parallel- sided 

 golden-ochreous, duller towards base, lighter on disc, on inner 

 margin irrorated with fuscous ; a strong black longitudinal streak 

 on middle of disc, posteriorly attenuated and bent upwards, with 

 three silvery-metallic roundish spots, one at its origin, one in 

 middle, the third before the extremity beneath ; the first of these 

 forms the apex of a rather oblique streak from costa before ^, 

 which is followed at equal intervals on costa by a silvery -metallic 

 dot, a short transverse streak, and an outwardly curved transverse 

 fascia, attenuated above middle, ending on inner margin beyond 

 the black discal streak ; two white costal spots before apex, each 

 giving rise to a violet- silvery metallic line, haK-way across wing 

 uniting into a thick line ending at anal angle. Hind- wings 

 fuscous, towards the base mixed with yellowish ; cilia very pale 

 yellowish, tips grey towards apex, and with a grey-fuscous line. 

 One (^ from Tasmania." 



I have not seen this species ; I have translated Zeller's original 

 description, which is written with his usual accuracy, and clearly 

 points to an insect rather nearly allied to the preceding G. 

 chrysolithella, but without the yellow hind- wings ; the markings 

 of the fore-wings are very similar.
