654 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA, 



2. Stigm. conficitana, Walk. 

 fCarpocapsa conficitana , Walk., Brit. Mus. Cat. 412). 



? . 5". Head and thorax dark fuscous. Forewings in form 

 resembling S. zapyrana ; dark fuscous ; dorsal blotch obsolete ; 

 only distinct markings a transverse silvery -metallic line crossing 

 dorsal half of wing towards hindmargin, followed by a row of 

 four or five black linear dots. Hind wings dull orange, hind- 

 margin and inner margin broadly and suffusedly dark fuscous. 



Nearly allied to S. zapyrana, but in a considerable series of 

 both sexes of that species I have seen no specimen approaching 

 it ; distinguished by the obsolescence of the dorsal blotch and 

 costal markings, and by the duller colour, broader hindmarginal 

 band, and dark suffusion of inner margin of hindwings. 



Walker's type is stated to be from Moreton Bay, Queensland ; 

 I have seen no other.

 fuscous. Forewings moderately broad, costa somewhat bent 

 before apex, hindmargin rather oblique ; dark fuscous ; costa

 towards extremity, containing a slender blackish central line ; 

 three indistinct bluish-metallic lines from costa, placed as in S. 

 zapyrana, but obscure, lower half of second distinct, silvery- 

 metallic, blackish-margined ; between it and hindmargin is a
