286 EXOTIC MtCROLEPIDOPTERA. 



spot, of which lower lialf is wliite, upper half ochreous-yellow : cilia 

 wliitish, towards tonnis iuscous-tinged, a blackisli hook surrounding 

 apical spot above, and a dark fuscous spot beneath it. Hindwings 

 grey; an expansible pencil of very long tine grey- whitish hairs 

 from base lying beneath forewings ; cilia light grey. 



Queensland, lirisbaue, January (Z)ocZ(^); one specimen. Type in 

 Wals. Coll., Jirit. Mus. (1U435). 



Limnoecia eristica, n. sp. 



(S . 13 mm. Head white, palpi white, rather slender, smooth, 

 base blackish. Thorax grey, posteriorly grey-whitish, anterior 

 margin blackish. Abdomen grey, anal tuft whitish, a slender liglit 

 grey hairpencil on sides from base. Forewings elongate-lanceolate ; 

 dark fuscous; markings white; a moderate direct fascia at ^ ; a 

 slightly broader direct median fascia, not reaching dorsum ; tri- 

 angular opposite spots at |, almost meeting, costal slightly posterior : 

 cilia light greyish, white on costal spot, a white apical spot. Hind- 

 wings and cilia light grey. 



Quef;nsland, Brisbane, October (Dochl) ; one specimen. Type in. 

 Wals. Coll. (191U2). Near c^hophora, but in that species the palju 

 are stouter and slightly rough anteriorly, with slight projection at 

 apex of second joint, first fascia not reaching dorsum, third entiie. 

 Wmilar (but whitish) hairpencils on each side of abdomen are found 

 in cybophora (omitted in mj' description) and in oc7«rorona (ochreous- 

 whitish). A 5 specimen (10 mm.) from same locality with quite 

 similar markings, but head whitish-ochreous, })alpi with basal half 

 and tip of second joint dark grey, terminal joint with blackish 

 lateral line, base of forewings very narrowly white, is probably the 

 other sex of this species.

 slightly whitish-speckled. Hindwings dark fuscous; cilia fuscous. 



Queensland, Brisbane, May, ji^ugust (Dodd); two specimens. 

 Type Wals. Coll. (13189). Kesembles the larger species of 2Va- 

 clujdora, but the palpi, though the whorls are well-developed, 

 cannot be termed tufted. 



LYONETIAD.E.
