DESCRIPTIONS OF MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA FROM 
MORETON BaAy. 
By A. JEFFERIS TURNER, M.D. 
[Read March 6, 1894.] 
I shall endeavor in these papers to give a complete list of the 
species which I have been able to identify as occurring in the 
neighborhood of Brisbane under the head of each genus treated 
of ; and to describe any species believed to be new with regard 
to whose generic position I feel satistied. The admirable work 
of Mr. Meyrick on the Australian micro-lepidoptera has alone 
rendered any such work by a local naturalist possible, and I 
cannot too strongly express my indebtedness to his papers for 
any worth that my own may possess. I must also express my 
indebtedness to Mr. Lower, of Adelaide, for advice and assist- 
ance, and to Dr. Lucas and Mr. Illidge, of Brisbane, for access 
to their valuable collections. 
GRACILARID. 
GRACILARIA, Z. 
This beautiful and easily recognised genus appears to be well 
represented about Brisbane. Besides the twenty-one new species 
here described, I have obtained here the following :— 
Grac. xanthopharella, Meyr. 
“<  plagata, Stt. 
“ qautadelpha, Meyr. 
“ calicella, Stt. 
‘“«  chalcoptera, Meyr. 
«formosa, Stt. 
‘© ada, Meyr. 
“< eumetella, Meyr. 
“  laciniella, Meyr. 
“ albomarginata, Stt. (2) 
T have reared Grac. laciniella, Meyr., from larve, using the 
leaves of Eucalyptus sp. I am not quite certain of the identifi- 
cation of Grac. albomarginata, Stt., but I have one specimen 
which generally corresponds to the description, except in having 
blackish autenne. 
Grac. PLAGATA, Sét. 
Middle tibie very much thickened with greyish-ochreous
