230 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN MICEO-LEPIDOPTERA. 



Hind-wings with. 7 veins ; 2 before (rarely from) posterior angle 

 of cell. 



This genus, which, contains about a dozen European species, 

 is nearly allied to Hyelois, from which it is distinguished by the 

 hind- wings having only 7 veins. 



Euz. leucarma, n. sp.
