240 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA, 



oblique, becoming obsolete before reaching middle of wing ; 

 third reaching half across wing, its lower portion steely-metallic ; 

 fourth short ; fifth and sixth acutely wedge-shaxDed, close before 

 apex, very short; a short oblique steely-metallic streak from 

 anal angle, forming a white spot in cilia ; between its apex and 

 that of third costal streak is a steely-metallic spot on disc ; a 

 steely-metallic line along lower half of hind-margin, and some 

 scattered steely-metallic scales on disc towards apex ; cilia grey, 

 with a strong black, apical hook, basal half separated by a black 

 line and clothed with dark fuscous scales, except on a wedge- 

 shaped black-margined indentation beneath apex containing a 

 small whitish spot. Hind- wings and cilia dark fuscous. 



Closely allied to G. asteronota, but larger, and the third costal 

 streak does not unite with the streak from anal angle. Two males 

 taken on the dry grassy hill-slopes near Murrurundi, in 

 November. 



Glyph, asteronota, n. sp. 



^ $ . ^\". Head, thorax, and antennae dark fuscous. Palpi 

 whitish, with obsolete darker rings. (?) Abdomen dark fuscous, 

 apex whitish. Legs dark fuscous, middle and posterior tibite 

 with whitish central and apical bands, all tarsi with broad 

 whitish rings at apex of joints. Fore-wings somewhat dilated, 

 hind-margin rather strongly sinuate beneath apex; dark fuscous ; 

 two conspicuous clear white semilunate spots on inner margin, 

 reaching half across wing, first near base, second slightly beyond 

 middle, both outwardly oblique, their apices curved towards 

 apex of wing; six slender oblique white streaks from costa; 

 first at ^ ; second hardly before middle, not reaching half across 

 wing ; third uniting with a similar streak from anal angle to 

 form an outwardly curved transverse fascia ; fourth short ; fifth 

 and sixth small, wedge-shaped, close before apex ; some irregular 

 silvery-TV hite scales above anal angle beyond the transverse 

 fascia ; cilia grey (?), basal haK separated by a black line and
