(^ ? . 11-14^ mm. Head and palpi white, basal half of second 

 joint dark fuscous. Antennas whitish. Thorax blackish-fuscous, 

 with a white anterior spot. Abdomen whitish-ochreous, towards 

 base more w^hitish. Anterior legs dark grey ; middle tibiae 

 ochreous-grey, tarsi whitish-ochreous suffused with grey towards 

 base ; posterior legs whitish-ochreous. Forewings moderately 

 dilated, costa moderately arched, apex rounded, hindmargin 

 almost straight, rather oblique ; clear white ; base narrowly 

 blackish-fuscous ; a moderately broad well-defined fuscous trans- 

 verse fascia from middle of costa to middle of inner-margin, 

 anterior edge straight, posterior edge concave in middle, dilated 

 towards inner margin ; a second fuscous transverse fascia, about 

 as broad, from costa before apex to inner margin before anal 

 angle, anterior edge broadly convexly angulated in disc, posterior 

 edge almost straight, leaving a narrow w^hite hindmarginal streak ; 

 a row of cloudy rather dark fuscous dots near hindmargin, some- 

 times suffused and confluent so as to form an irregular line : 

 cilia white, mixed with fuscous, with two indistinct dark fuscous 

 lines round apex. Hindwings grey ; cilia grey- whitish, with a 

 faint darker line near base. 



This and the two following species are rather nearly allied, 

 being distinguishable by the w^hite bifasciated forewings. E. 

 triferella is smaller than either of the other two and relatively 

 broader- winged, with the markings rather dark dull fuscous and 

 comparatively broader. 



Not uncommon round Sydney and Melbourne in January and 

 March ; also at Brisbane and E-osewood, Queensland, in 

 September.
