340 DESCRIPTIONS OF MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA, 



in disc beyond middle, connected with costa beyond middle by a 

 few grey scales; a cloudy dark fuscous-grey outwards-angulated 

 transverse line from costa at f to hindmargin above anal angle ; 

 beyond this some scattered grey scales ; a row of cloudy almost 

 confluent dark fuscous dots along hindmargin and apical fourth of 

 costa : cilia white, with a few grey spots. Hindwings pale 

 whitish-grey, under surface white ; cilia white. 



Very distinct and easily recognisable. 



One specimen taken at Launceston, Tasmania, at the end of 

 January; a second near Mount Gambier, South Australia, in 

 November. 



25. Phriconyma Meyr. 



Head loosely haired, sidetufts moderately large, loosely spreading. 

 Antennae in <$ moderate, moderately and evenly ciliated (1), basal 

 joint moderate, with strong pecten. Palpi moderate, second joint 

 hardly reaching base of antennae, beneath dilated with roughly 

 projecting laterally compressed scales on apical half, terminal joint 

 shorter than second, moderate, recurved. Thorax smooth. Fore- 

 wings elongate, moderate, apex obtusely pointed, hindmargin very 

 oblique. Hindwings somewhat narrower than forewings, elongate- 

 ovate, hindmargin rounded, cilia % Abdomen elongate. Posterior 

 tibiae clothed with long hairs above. Forewings with vein 7 to 

 apex, 2 with 3 from angle of cell, upper fork of 1 obsolete. 

 Hindwings with veins 3 and 4 short-stalked. 



Also near Eulechria, differing in the peculiarities of neuration, 

 and the projecting scales of the second joint of palpi ; also certainly 

 related to Locheutis. It is probably a direct offshoot of Eulechria.

Minor, alis ant. griseis, leviter nigro-sparsis, punctis disci tribus 

 nigris ; post, griseis ; capite cano.
