242 DESCRIPTIONS OP AUSTRALIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA, 



indentation below apex, meeting a few silvery scales on hind- 

 margin. Hind-wings and cilia dark fuscous-grey. 



Belonging to the group of G. fisclieriella, G. schcenicolella, and 

 the allied species, but distinguished from them all by the 

 presence of an additional costal streak, nearer to the base than 

 the dorsal streak ; its nearest allies in Australia are the two 

 following, which however do not possess the dorsal streak from 

 middle of inner margin at all. Three < 's, taken at Sydney and 

 Parraniatta in dry places amongst low-growing Carex, in 

 October and November. 



Glyph, palseomorpha, n. sp. 



$ ? . 3^"-3f '. Head and thorax deep bronze. Palpi bronzy 

 at base, second joint with two whorls of black white-tipped 

 scales, terminal joint black with two oblique white bands. 

 Antennae dark fuscous. Abdomen dark fuscous, in $ elongate, 

 in whitish at apex. Legs obscure fuscous, tarsi with slender 

 whitish rings at apex of joints. Fore-wings narrow, somewhat 

 dilated, hind-margin sinuate beneath apex ; rather dark bronze, 

 with five costal silvery- white streaks, and one dorsal silvery- 

 metallic ; first costal in middle, oblique, reaching half across 

 wing; second before f, equally oblique, becoming silvery- 

 metallic at apex, uniting with the outwardly oblique silvery- 

 metallic dorsal streak from just before anal angle to form an 

 angulated transverse fascia ; third, fourth, and fifth, short, close 

 together before apex ; an elongate silvery-metallic spot on hind- 

 margin below middle ; a round black apical spot, beneath which 

 are some silvery-metallic scales ; cilia whitish, dark fuscous at 

 anal angle, and with a black apical hook, basal half separated 

 by a black line and dark fuscous, except a wedge-shaped white 

 indentation below apex, whence proceeds a strong black sub- 

 apical hook. Hind-winds and cilia dark fuscous. 



Distinguished from the group of G. fischeriella, to which it 

 approximates, by the absence of the dorsal streak from middle
