apical third blackish-fuscous, hindmargin very narrowly dark 

 fuscous ; cilia dark fuscous. 



This beautiful and richly-coloured species has some general 

 resemblance to such species as Teras holmiana and Tortrix berg- 

 manniana, but is very different in structure ; the yellow hindwings 

 are a noticeable point. 



I have two specimens, and have seen three others, taken near 

 Sydney and Parramatta, New South Wales, from August to 

 October, flying in the afternoon sunshine or beaten from mixed 

 scrub in rocky places. Walker's specimen is also from Sydney.

Thorax smooth. Antenna) in male thickened, shortly ciliated. 

 Palpi moderate, porrected, second joint triangularly scaled, 

 terminal joint distinct. Fore wings oblong, costa rather strongly 

 arched towards base, in male with a broad basal fold, apex 

 rectangular, hindmargin hardly oblique, rounded. Hindwings 

 rounded-trapezoidal, broader than forewings. Forewings with 

 veins 7 and 8 stalked, 7 running to hindmargin, 3 rising from 

 before lower angle of cell. Hindwings with veins 3 and 4 remote 

 at origin, 5 approximated to 4 at base, 6 and 7 stalked. 



This genus comes near the following Acropolitis, from which 

 the best distinction seems to lie in the absence of the thoracic 

 crest ; the antenna) of the male are also much less strongly 

 ciliated, and veins 6 and 7 of the hindwings are stalked. From 

 Aristocosma it is separated by the much broader hindwings.

<$ , 6"-7". Head, palpi, antenna), and thorax pale ochreous. 

 Abdomen and legs whitish-ochreous. Forewings short, broad, 

 pale whitish-ochreous, irrorated with ochreous ; costa faintly 

 strigulated with ochreous ; basal parch indicated by several faintly 

 darker transverse lines ; an irregular somewhat oblong fuscous 

 or dark fuscous blotch on inner margin before middle, uniting
