fuscous-grey outwardly radiating streaks in cilia, and an additional 

 streak in hind-marginal cilia, and emitting a fuscous-grey apical 

 hook ; cilia white. Hind-wings pale fuscous-grey, cilia white. 



Not capable of being confused with the last species. Common 

 on fences in Sydney, in January and from April to August. 



PHYLLOCNISTIS, Z. 



Head smooth ; no ocelli ; tongue short. Antennae shorter than 

 fore- wings, slender, filiform, with a rather small eyecap. No 

 maxillary palpi. Labial palpi short, drooping, very slender, 

 filiform. Fore- wings elongate, narrow, pointed, apex rather 

 produced. Hind-wings very narrowly lanceolate, of fore-wings, 

 cilia five times as broad. Fore -wings with 9 veins ; 4 and 5 

 stalked ; 4 branches to costa, cell closed, 1 simple. Hind-wings 

 without cell ; median twice-branched. 



The genus contains only a few closely allied species, but is 

 found also in Europe, North and South America, and India. The 

 larva) are apodal, mining blotches in leaves. The pupa is in a 

 cocoon inside the mine. 



Phyll. diaugella, n.sp. 



$ ? . lf"-2". Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, abdomen, and 

 legs shining silvery- white. Fore-wings pearly white, with two 

 longitudinal fuscous streaks from base of costa to middle of disc, 

 not united posteriorly; an outwardly oblique, rather curved 

 fuscous streak from costa beyond middle, nearly meeting a straight 

 perpendicular fuscous transverse fascia immediately beyond it, 

 the lower extremity of which sometimes forms a spot on inner- 

 margin ; between the fascia and apex is a rather large oval 

 golden-ochreous patch ; apical spot very distinct, round, black, 

 preceded by two divergent fuscous streaks in costal cilia, and two 

 others less distinct and equally divergent in hind-marginal cilia, 

 and emitting a short grey apical streak ; cilia white. Hind-wings 

 whitish, cilia white.
