228 DESCRIPTIONS OP AUSTRALIAN MICRO -LEPIDOPTERA, 



fifths of inner margin ; second line cloudy, blackish, indistinct, 

 strongly waved throughout, tending to separate into elongate 

 points, broadly sinuate inwards beneath costa ; a cloudy blackish 

 oblique apical blotch or streak, obscuring origin of second line ; 

 a single large elongate black dot on disc at f , midway between 

 costa and inner margin ; in suffused specimens the markings 

 are partially obscured ; a hind-marginal row of about eight small 

 cloudy black dots : cilia fuscous-grey, with several rows of whitish 

 points. Hind- wings pale fuscous-grey, rather darker towards 

 apex ; hind-marginal line clear, dark fuscous ; cilia greyish- 

 whitish, with strong clear dark fuscous parting-line. 



Closely allied to Em. vulgatella, but easily recognised by the 

 broader fore-wings, with more arched costa, and the strongly 

 marked transverse lines, which in vulgatella are hardly indicated. 

 Also very similar to Pemp. strigiferella female, from which it may 

 be known, even when alive, by the very different long porrected 

 palpi. 



Three females taken at light, at Parramatta, in October and 

 March ; it is therefore probably double-brooded.
