212 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN MICRO -LEPIDOPTERA, 



angle, all margined above and below with black ; hind-marginal 

 line blackish ; cilia pale grey-fuscous, with a dark central line, 

 and chequered with three double, whitish, squares, alternating 

 with the white hind-marginal spots. Hind-wings pale ochreous- 

 yellow, apex slightly infuscated; hind-marginal line cloudy 

 fuscous ; cilia pale ochreous-yellow. 



? 10". Smaller and paler than male, white markings broader 

 and more suffused, labial palpi proportionately shorter, antennae 

 simple ; abdomen and hind-wings dull white, apex of hind- wings 

 infuscated. 



Nearly allied topleniferettus, Walker, from which it differs by the 

 hind- wings being ochreous-yellow in male, white in female, whilst 

 in p leniferellus they are grey in both sexes ; and also by the 

 differently arranged markings of fore- wings. In shape of wing 

 and oth er respects this insect is evidently allied to the group of 

 craterettus, Sc. &ndiclirysonuchellus Sc. 



Mr. Q-. H. E-aynor took this species in some abundance near 

 Hobart Town, Tasmania, whence also Walker's specimens were 

 sent ; it occurred early in January. 



Or. pleniferellus, Walker. 



To the references for this species should have been added, as a 

 synonym, aurosus, Felder and, Rogenh., Novara-Eeise, tab. 137, 

 fig. 31, under which name Zeller has also since described it in 

 the Horae Societatis Eossicae, 1877, p. 45 ; Walker's name has 

 the priority and must be retained, as it is identifiable with 

 certainty. 



It seems that this species also (described Vol. III., p. 196) is, 

 like Ufractellus, better transferred to this genus ; it is not 

 however, closely allied to any species known to me.
