to oiiG another, and in this genus appears to Lc of no importance, 

 though usually elsewhere of great value. 



Glyph, acinacella, n. sp. 

 f^ . oh". Head and thorax dark shining greyish-fuscous. 

 Palpi white, with four oblique w^horls of black white-tipped scales, 

 apex white with a black line beneath. Antennto dark fuscous. 

 Abdomen blackish-fuscous. Legs blackish-fuscous, with slender 

 white rings at middle and apex of tibiao, and apex of all tarsal 

 joints. Forewings moderate, not dilated, hindmargin sinuate; 

 dark fuscous, slightly bronzy-tinged ; a narrow curved very 

 oblique white streak from inner margin before middle, attenuated 

 gradually throughout to extremity, somewhat broken attwo-thirds 

 of its length, reaching half across wing, ending in disc beyond 

 middle ; five slender oblique white somewhat violet-shining streaks 

 from costa, indisdinctly darker-margined anteriorly; first from 

 slightly beyond middle of costa, reaching half across wing to just 

 beyond apex of dorsal streak ; second rather shorter ; other three 

 very short, wedge-shaped ; a short erect whitish violet-shining 

 streak from inner margin before anal angle, nearly reaching apex 

 of second costal streak ; some indistinct scattered whitish violet- 

 shining scales towards anal angle and lower half of hindmargin ; 

 a small violet-metallic spot on hindmargin beneath apex, adjoin- 

 ing a round blackish apical spot : cilia rather shining fuscous- 

 grey, with a suffused darker grey line, and a triangular ill-defined 

 indentation beneath apex, costal cilia dark grey with white spots 



on costal streaks, no defined apical hook (?). Hindwings and 

 cilia dark fuscous. 



Nearest allied amongst Australasian species to G, actinobola, 

 Meyr., but immediately known by not possessing any white streak 

 from before middle of costa. It comes nearer to the European 

 group of G. equitella, Sc, G. fiscJieriella, Z., and their allies, but 

 the dorsal streak is rather nearer base, and the first costal streak 

 somewhat further from base than in any species known to me,
