178 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTEALIAN" MICEO-LEPIDOPTEEA, 



irrorated with, grey-whitisli, and with, scattered dark fuscous 

 scales ; some raised scales at about one-fourth from base on disc 

 and towards inner margin ; very faint indications of a darker 

 outwardly oblique streak from costa at one-fourth to middle of 

 inner margin, and a spot in disc at two-thirds ; cilia grey with 

 whitish points, mixed with darker fusoous-grey at base. Hind- 

 wings pale whitish-grey ; cilia grey-v/hitisli, with a faint grey 

 line near base. 



A peculiar and abnormal-looking insect, at first sight not at all 

 like the Tortricma. It is very possible that the male may be 

 more distinctly marked. 



Two specimens beaten from scrub, one at Parramatta in August, 

 the other at Blackheath on the Blue Mountains in September. 



Heterocrossa, n. g. 



Thorax smooth. Antenna3 in male with long fine cilia. Palpi 

 rather long or very long, second joint roughly haired above and 

 towards apex beneath, attenuated, terminal joint moderate, 

 exposed. Posterior tibiae fringed with hairs above. Forewings 

 elongate, narrow, costa in male simple, moderately arched, apex 

 pointed, hindmargin oblique ; surface with raised scales. Hind- 

 wings elongate, broader than forewings, lower median vein 

 pectinated towards base. Forewings with veins 7 and 8 separate, 

 7 running to hindmargin, secondary cell absent, upper fork of 

 vein 1 obsolete. Hindwings with 6 veins, 3 and 4 stalked from 

 posterior angle of cell, 5 from upper angle of cell to slightly above 

 apex, 6 free. 



Closely allied to Paramorpha, Meyr., but differing from it and 

 all other genera of the family in the basal pectination of the 

 lower median vein. The absence of this pectination is a family 

 characteristic, but although this case proves that the characteristic 

 is not an infallible one, yet it will be observed that the family is 

 still absotutely distinguished from the other two by the origin of 

 vein 2 from near before the angle, and, as I have remarked in my
