452 DESCEIPTIOXS OF AUSTRALIiK^ MICEO-LEPIDOPTEEA, 



a thorough diagnosis, though I think the above, drawn mainly 

 from "Walker's description, will be sufficient. 

 Said to be from Sydney.

 {Crt/ptolecliia dejunctella, Walk., Brit. Mus. Cat., 1036.) 



Media, alis ant. ochreis, partim rosea-suffusis, margine postico 

 dorsoque saturate roseis, interdum punctis duobus disci obsoletis

 second joint suffused with ochreous- reddish externally and beneath 

 Antennae whitish. Abdomen whitish, anal tuft tinged with 

 ochreous. Anterior and middle tibse and tarsi dark fuscous- 

 carmine ; posterior tibia? and tarsi whitish. Eorewings moderate, 

 costa moderately arched, apex almost acute, hindmargin rather 

 sinuate, oblique ; light ochreous ; a light reddish-fuscous cloudy 

 suffusion along subcostal vein from base to about f, very indistinct 

 posteriorly ; a darker reddish-fuscous cloudy suffused streak 

 along inner margin from i to anal augle ; a reddish-fuscous dot 

 in disc before middle, often obsolete ; a second more distinct 

 reddish-fuscous dot in disc beyond middle ; between the second 

 dot and anal angle is a small indistinct light reddish-fuscous 

 cloudy spot, often connected with base by a very obsolete light 

 reddish-fuscous longitudinal suffusion ; a slender rather dark 

 reddish-fuscous cloudy streak along hindmargin from apex to anal 

 angle ; in female all these markings are generally rendered obsolete 

 by a light ochreous-reddish suffusion of the ground colour ; cilia 

 grey, mixed with dark grey, with a dark grey line near base on 

 upper half of hindmargin, costal cilia ochreous-reddish. Hind- 

 wings with hindmargin very slightly sinuate ; whitish, apex faintly 

 rosy-tinged ; cilia whitish. 



Distinguished by its rosy-ochreous forewings and whitish hind- 

 wings ; the rosy tinge is more pronounced and uniform in the 

 female, which is rather smaller in size.
