338 DESCRIPTIONS OF MICRO-LEP1DOPTERA, 



black with white rings at apex of joints. Forewings elongate, 

 narrow, costa gently arched, apex round-pointed, hindmargin very 

 obliquely rounded ; dark purple-fuscous, with blue and green 

 reflections, with a transverse patch of raised scales in disc at J ; an 

 ill-defined whitish-ochreous transverse fascia close to base ; two or 

 three scattered whitish-ochreous scales in disc below middle; a 

 small ochreous- whitish spot on costa at J, and a similar less-defined 

 spot on inner margin somewhat before it ; an ochreous-whitish dot 

 on costa before apex : cilia dark purple-fuscous. Hind wings deep 

 yellow, apex broadly dark fuscous, with a very narrow dark 

 fuscous border along lower margin \ cilia dark grey, with a broad 

 dark fuscous basal line. 



A curious species, although the colouring of the hindwings is 

 here of a normal type. The raised scales of the forewings seem 

 natural, but I am not sure that they are really so. 



Sydney, in October ; one specimen at rest on a fence. 



24. Linosticha Meyr. 



Head loosely haired, sidetufts large, loosely spreading. Antennae 

 in $ moderate, with long fine cilia (4) on basal half, shorter 

 towards apex, basal joint rather stout, with strong pecten. Palpi 

 moderately long, second joint reaching or somewhat exceeding base 

 of antennae, with appressed scales, somewhat loose beneath, 

 terminal joint as long as second, slender, recurved. Thorax 

 smooth. Forewings elongate, moderate, apex pointed, hindmargin 

 very oblique. Hindwings somewhat narrower than forewings, 

 elongate-ovate, hindmargin rounded, cilia |-. Abdomen moderate. 

 Posterior tibiae clothed with fine moderate hairs above. Forewings 

 with vein 7 to apex, 2 almost from angle of cell. Hindwings 

 normal. 



Closely allied to Eulechria, of which it is doubtless a develop- 

 ment, differing essentially only by the long fine ciliations of the 

 antennae.
