190 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA, 



surrounded with black scales, a third similar spot on inner margin 

 at three-fifths, a fourth slightly above and beyond third, and a 

 fifth in disc below middle above anal angle ; beyond the fifth the 

 black scales tend to form a small separate spot ; an oblique violet- 

 silvery-metallic streak from costa slightly beyond middle, almos^ 

 reaching fifth discal spot, and containing an ochreous-white costal 

 dot ; a similar shorter streak a little beyond it ; an outwardly 

 curved violet-silvery-metallic fascia from a white dot on costa 

 at five-sixths to hindmargin below middle, thence produced to 

 anal angle, interrupted above hindmargin ; a short violet-sil very- 

 metallic subapical streak from a white dot on costa before apex 

 to hindmarginal indentation : cilia on hindmargin with basal half 

 bronzy-ochreous, terminal half white, separated by a broad 

 blackish-grey line, with a triangular white indentation above 

 middle, on anal angle dark grey, with a white dot beneath inner- 

 marginal spot, costal cilia dark grey, with white wedge-shaped 

 spots on extremities of two posterior metallic streaks. Hind- 

 wings and cilia dark fuscous. 



' Allied to G. aster iella, Meyr., but easily known by the white 

 dorsal spot near base only reaching half across wings, and the 

 absence of the regular black longitudinal lines posteriorly, as well 

 as by various difterences of marking. There is no complete 

 black patch, but it is indicated by the scattered black scales round 

 the posterior metallic spots. 



One specimen taken by Mr. G. H. Eaynor at Warragul in
