322 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN MICRO- LEPIDOPTERA, 



110. Eul. tanyscia, n. sp. 



Media, alis ant. saturate fuscis, $ disco cano-suffuso, punctis 

 disci quatuor lineaque postica curva nigricantibus ; post, saturate 

 fuscis, 3 subtus flavidis. 



8 ? . 16-25 mm Head, thorax, and abdomen dark fuscous- 

 grey, slightly mixed with whitish. Palpi rather short, dark 

 fuscous, second joint white towards the base. Antennas dark 

 fuscous. Legs dark fuscous, apex of tarsal joints white, middle 

 tibise with central and apical ochreous-whitish rings, hairs of 

 posterior tibise whitish-ochreous. Forewings elongate, costa in 8 

 hardly arched, in ? moderately, apex rounded, hind margin very 

 obliquely rounded ; dark fuscous, in ? coarsely irrorated with 

 whitish-grey, in c? irrorated with white and more or less conspi- 

 cuously suffused with white towards disc ; a blackish crescentic 

 dot in disc before middle, a small round dot above middle, a 

 crescentic mark beyond middle, and a small spot on fold hardly 

 beyond first dot ; a strongly curved dark fuscous transverse line 

 from a cloudy darker spot on costa ^ to anal angle, where is 

 sometimes another darker spot ; cilia with basal half barred 

 alternately with dark fuscous and whitish, terminal half grey. 

 Hind wings dark fuscous, under surface in 3 dull light yellowish- 

 ochreous, in ? dark fuscous ; cilia fuscous- grey, with a darker line 

 near base. 



Tbe sexes are at first sight very dissimilar ; the 8 resembles 

 in colouring the group of Eul. adoxella, but is immediately separated 

 by the nearly strait costa, and the yellowish under surface of the 

 hindwings; the ? is more like Eul. siccella, but is easily recog- 

 nisable by the uniform dark colouring. 



Both sexes taken plentifully at Mount Gambier, South Aus- 

 tralia, at rest on the trunks of Eucalyptus Gunnii in November ; 

 also met with at Adelaide in October.
