two transversely placed at § ; cilia grey-whitish ; in 9 with two 

 grey lines. Hindwings in <J light fuscous-grey, paler towards 

 base, in 9 darker fuscous-grey ; cilia grey whitish, in 9 with two 

 grey lines. 



The ^ stands peculiarly characterised in the genus by the rather 

 broad suboblong fore wings, and does not at all approach P. pro- 

 ductella ; but the 9 closely resembles the same sex of P. productella 

 both in form and colour. 



Duaringa, Queensland ; eight specimens received from Mr. G. 

 Barnard. 



212. Phil, pruinosa, n. sp. 



Media, alis ant. elongatis, niveis, vitta costse suflusa abbreviata, 

 fascia angusta ad basim, punctis disci quattuor, strigula anguli 

 analis lineaque postica saturate fuscis ; post, griseis. 



<J 9. 1720 mm. Head white or yellowish-white. Palpi 

 white, second joint dark fuscous externally except at apex. 

 Antennae grey. Thorax white, with a dark fuscous spot on 

 shoulder. Abdomen whitish-ochreous, anal tuft more yellowish. 

 Legs dark fuscous, posterior tibise ochreous-whitish. Forewings 

 elongate, rather narrow, costa moderately arched, apex pointed, 

 hindmargin extremely obliquely rounded ; white ; an ill-defined 

 blackish fascia close to base ; a short blackish streak from this 

 beneath costa, merged in a dark fuscous suffusion along costa from 

 j to f ; inner and hind margins strewn with dark fuscous scales ; 

 a small dark fuscous spot in disc before middle, a second obliquely 

 before it on fold, and a third between these, sometimes all 

 confluent ; a fourth above middle, a fifth below and beyond 

 middle, and three others generally confluent into an oblique 

 streak from disc to anal angle; a dark fuscous line from costa 

 at 5 to hindmargin above anal angle, indented above middle : cilia 

 whitish, becoming grey towards tips. Hindwings grey, base paler ; 

 cilia pale whitish-ochreous, sometimes partially greyish. 



A rather peculiar species, probably somewhat allied to P. 

 productella, but differing from all the neighbouring species in the 

 dark fuscous fascia near base.
