248 DESCEIPTIONS OF AUSTEALIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA, 



golden-bronze, with, transverse golden-ochreoiis strigiilae ; a 

 white transverse spot on inner margin near base ; a straight 

 silvery-metallic streak from costa before ^, reaching to fold ; two 

 straight parallel silvery-metallic transverse fasciae, first from 

 middle of costa, second from f to anal angle, sometimes shortly 

 interrupted below middle ; two small silvery-metallic spots on 

 costa at f , and a little before apex, becoming white in costal 

 cilia ; beneath the anterior one is a small discal silvery spot ; a 

 sub-apical silvery-metallic streak from costa to hind-margin a 

 little below apex ; a triangular black patch on hind-margin 

 above anal angle; its base resting on lower part of second 

 fascia, its apex on middle of hind-margin, containing five or six 

 irregular golden-metallic spots ; above this patch are sometimes 

 one or two longitudinal black lines on disc ; cilia whitish, grey 

 at apex and anal angle, basal half separated by a dark fuscous 

 line and clothed with golden-ochreous scales, except where a 

 wbite indentation meets the sub-apical silvery streak. Hind- 

 wings and cilia dark fuscous. 



A handsome species, bearing considerable resemblance in 

 markings to Glypli. iometalla and Glyph, triselena ; being 

 distinguished from the former by its larger size and the second 

 complete fascia, from the latter by its darker colouring and 

 broader irregularly-spotted anal patch. Eather common, 

 occurring round Sydney and Parramatta, and at Bowenfels and 

 Tarana on the Blue Mountains, about 2,500 feet above the sea ; 

 it flies in the sunshine towards sunset over dry grassy banks, in 

 September, November, and from January to March, so that 

 there is probably a succession of broods. 



Phryganostola, n. g. 



Head smooth ; with ocelli ; tongue moderate. Antennae about 

 half as long as fore-wings, filiform, in ^ very shortly ciliated. 

 No maxillary palpi. Labial palpi rather short, thick, arched ; 

 second joint clothed with long loose projecting hairs beneath,
