186 DESCIUPTIOIS'S OF ATJSTIIA.LIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA, 



shaped streak from costa at three-fifths, reaching half across 

 wing, becoming ochreous-white on costa and produced as an 

 ochreous-white streak along costa to five-sixth ; a narrow longi- 

 tudinal straak in disc beneath the oahreous-white costal streak, 

 its posterior extremity sometimes turned up and connected with 

 it ; an erect roundish spot on inner margin before anal angle, 

 with a small black spot on each side of its apex ; a slightly curved 

 streak close before hindmargin from a white spot before apex to 

 anal angle ; cilia with basal half brassy-ochreous, terminal half 

 light grey, separated by a blackish-grey line. Hindwings and 

 cilia dark fuscous. 



By the absence of any black discal patch, white hindmarginal 

 indentation, or apical hook in the cilia, this species stands at 

 once distinguished from all other described Australian species, 

 and it would seem to have most relationship with the very 

 differently marked European G. hergstrcBsserella, F. The palpi 

 are much shorter than in any other Australian species, and the 

 general aspect is peculiar, but the venation is of the ordinary 

 type. 



Three specimens taken in grassy bush at Mittagong (2,000 

 feet) and Blackheath (3,500 feet) in the Blue Mountains, in 

 February and March.
