1048 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA, 



352. Micr. monodyas, n. sp. 



Minor, alis ant. dilutius ochreo-navis, etiam ciliis ; post, dilutius 

 griseis. 



£ 9. 13-15 mm. Head and thorax light ochreous-yellow, collar 

 obscurely grey. Palpi whitish-yellow, second joint grey. Antennae 

 whitish-grey. Abdomen and legs grey, anal tuft and posterior legs 

 wliitish-ochreous. Forewings elongate, costa moderately arched, 

 apex roundpointed, hindmargin extremely obliquely rounded ; light 

 ochreous-yellow ; costal edge dark fuscous towards base : cilia light 

 ochreous-yellow. Hind wings and cilia light grey. 



Toowoomba, Queensland ; rather common in September. 



55. Heterozyga, Meyr. 



Head smooth, sidetufts rather small, spreading. Antennae in £ 

 somewhat serrate, moderately ciliated (1), basal joint with strong 

 pecten. Palpi moderate, second joint not exceeding base of 

 antennae, densely scaled, somewhat loosely beneath, terminal joint 

 rather shorter than second, slender, recurved. Thorax smooth. 

 Forewings elongate, hindmargin very oblique. Hindwings some- 

 what narrower than forewings, elongate-ovate, apex round-pointed, 

 cilia 1. Abdomen moderate. Posterior tibiae clothed with long 

 dense hairs. Forewings with vein 7 to hindmargin, 2 from 

 somewhat before angle of cell, 3 and 4 closely approximated or 

 short-stalked. Hindwings normal. 



Differs from all other (JEcophoridce in the close basal approxima- 

 tion or short stalking of veins 3 and 4 of the forewings ; in other 

 characters the genus closely approaches Ccesyra, of which it is 

 probably an offshoot, being apparently related especially to the last 

 group of that genus. I have examined the neuration of several g'a 

 of the single species, and in all veins 3 and 4 originated on a short 

 stalk or at least from the same point ; and of one 9, in which 

 these veins were closely approximated at base but not from the 

 same point.
