19G DESCRIPTIONS OF ArSTEALIATf MICEO-LEPIDOPTERA, 



broadest on inner margin, edges irregularly sinuate ; second 

 fascia about two-fiftbs, as broad as first, very irregularly curved 

 outwards in middle, sometimes narrowly connected on inner 

 margin witb first fascia and first dorsal spot ; a minute indistinct 

 spot on middle of costa ; a moderate subquadrate spot on costa 

 about two-tliirds, and a considerably larger irregular spot slightly 

 before it on inner margin, nearly reacliing it, only separated by 

 tbe black margins, forming a rather oblique black line ; two small 

 spots on inner margin beyond the large dorsal spot, and a small 

 spot betw'een them on costa ; a small apical spot, cutting off a 

 black apical dot : cilia pale whitish-grey, costal cilia grey with 

 white spots on costal spots, Hindwings grey, cilia pale whitish- 

 grey. 



Allied to the group of G. ccenotlieta, Meyr. ; distinguished by 

 the number of the posterior spots, and the breadth of the fasciae. 



Larva rather stout, cylindrical, tapering at both ends, head 

 small ; ochreous-yellowish, with a rather large transverse-oval or 

 elongate-transverse deep bright carmine-pink spot on back of 

 each segment, second segment somewhat suffused with carmine- 

 pink ; head brownish-ochreous, suffused witli dark fuscous on 

 margins. Mines a broad tubularly inflated gallery in leaves of 

 Phehalium dentatiim {Rutacece), lower surface somewhat con- 

 tracted, both surfaces discoloured. Pupa in a firm white cocoon 

 on under surface of leaf. I found this beautiful larva commonly 

 near Sydney, where however its foodplant is local, in August, 

 and bred eight specimens early in October. 



Grac. id a, Meyr. 



Larva moderate, thickest anteriorly, gradually tapering behind, 

 head small ; light yellowish ; head pale ochreous, mouth dark 

 fuscous. Mines first a gallery in leaves of J^iicahjpius piperita 

 (?) [MyrtacecE), mine at first slender, contorted, then straight, 

 tubular, discoloured to reddish-brown ; when nearly full-grown 

 leaves the mine and feeds within a conical chamber made of a
