506 DESCRIPTIONS OF ArSTBALIAJf MICRO-LEPIDOPTEEA, 



dentate dark grey line from -| of eosta obliquely outwards to disc, 

 thence sharply bent and continued inwards to inner margin 

 before anal angle, often considerably thickened on costa ; a small 

 cloudy grey spot below second discal dot, sometimes connected 

 with costa at f by a cloudy fuscous-grey streak ; sometimes these 

 markings are suffused with reddish-fuscous ; a row of distinct 

 dark grey dots along hindmargin and apical fourth of costa : cilia 

 whitish-grey, with a distinct central carmine-pink line, sometimes 

 basally suffused with pinkish. Hindwings dark grey, ochreous- 

 tinged, especially towards base, costa whitish-ochreous ; cilia grey, 

 with a dark grey line near base. 



Var. a. — Markings of forewings all obsolete, except discal 

 dots, a small dark grey spot on inner margin before middle, and 

 a larger blackish-grey spot on inner margin beyond middle. 



This and the two following species have the forewings more 

 oblong and less dilated than the preceding group, and are duller 

 in colouring. H. ahsumptella differs from the other two by the 

 smaller size, more numerous transverse strigae, and darker 

 hindwings. One variety described above is clearly an abnormal 

 form of this species, in Avhich the dark pigment seems to have 

 been withdrawn from most of the wing to concentrate itself in 

 one place ; I have only a single specimen of it, taken in company 

 with the usual form. 



Common round Sydney, especially at rest on fences ; also 

 taken in the Shoalhaven district, New South "Wales, at 

 Launceston, Tasmania, and near Melbourne and Brisbane, from 

 September to January.
