1048 DESCRIPTIOXS OF AUSTRALIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA, 



352. Micr. monodyas, n. sp. 



Minor, alis ant. dilutius ochreo-flavis, etiam ciliis ; post, dilutins 

 grisei.s. 



$ $. 13-15 mm. Head and thorax light ochreous-yellow, colhir 

 obscui'ely grey. Palpi whitish-yellow, second joint grey. Antenme 

 whitish-grey. Abdomen and legs grey, anal tuft and posterior legs 

 whitish-ochreous. Forewings elongate, costa moderately arched, 

 a])ex roundpointed, hindmargin extremely obliquely rounded ; light 

 ochreous-yellow ; costal edge dark fuscous towards base : cilia light 

 ochreous-yellow. Hindwings and cilia light grey. 



Toowoomba, Queensland ; rather common in September. 



55. Heterozyga, Meyr. 



Head smooth, sidetufts rather small, spreading. Antennte in $ 

 somewhat serrate, moderately ciliated (1), basal joint with strong 

 pecten. Palpi moderate, second joint not exceeding base of 

 antennae, densely scaled, somewhat loosely beneath, terminal joint 

 rather shorter than second, slendei', recurved. Thorax smooth. 

 Forewings elongate, hindmai-gin very oblique. Hindwings some- 

 what narrower than fox-ewings, elongate-ovate, apex round-pointed, 

 cilia 1. Abdomen moderate. Posterior tibiae clothed with long 

 dense hairs. Forewings with vein 7 to hindmargin, 2 from 

 somewhat before angle of cell, 3 and 4 closely approximated or 

 short-stalked. Hindwings normal. 



Differs from all other CEcophorida in the close basal ai)j)roxima- 

 tion or short stalking of veins 3 and 4 of the foi-ewings ; in other 

 characters the genus closely approaches Gcesyra, of which it is 

 probably an offshoot, being apparently related especially to the last 

 group of that genus. I have examined the neuration of several (J's 

 of the single species, and in all veins 3 and 4 originated on a short 

 stalk or at least from the same point ; and of one 9, in which 

 these veins were closely approximated at base but not from the 

 same point.
