■oclireous-tinged ; cilia fuscous-whitish, suffusad with light dull 

 orange except round apex. 



Sydney, New South Wales, in October (G. H. E-aynor) ; one 

 specimen. 



This strikingly distinct and ornamental Sjpecies is a true 

 Euphiltra, but in color and markings shows a suggestive affi- 

 nity to Tortricopsis. 



HELIOCAUSTA, Meyr. 

 Heliocausta doksivittellAj Walk. 



{Psecadia dorsivittella, Walk. Cat. Tin., 538.) 



Male and female, 24-28 mm. Head ochreous-whitish, sides 

 sharply dark brown. Palpi whitish, second joint light 

 brownish externally above, with a dark fuscous streak on each 

 side becoming obsolete downwards, terminal joint dark fuscous 

 anteriorly towards apex. Antennae light fuscous, ciliations in 

 male (2). Thorax fuscous, with a broad central ochreous- 

 whitish stripe, and dark fuscous stripe on each side of it. Ab- 

 domen pale yellowish. Legs yellow-whitish, anterior and 

 middle pair banded with fuscous. Forewings elongate, mode- 

 rate, costa rather strongly arched, apex round-pointed, pro- 

 duced, termen rather strongly concave, somewhat oblique ; fus- 

 cous, irrorated with grey-whitish, dorsal area broadly darker 

 fuscous, without irroration ; extreme costal edge rosy-whitish ; 

 an ochreous-whitish dorsal streak from near base to tornus, 

 narrowed to extremities, edged above with some dark ferru- 

 ginous scales, and beyond middle with a triangular dark fer- 

 ruginous spot edged with whitish ; a very indistinct darker 

 line from two-fifths of costa very obliquely outwards to five- 

 sixths, thence obtusely angulated to tornus; cilia fuscous 

 mixed with whitish, Avith dark ferruginous basal line mixed 

 Math dark fuscous. Hindwings light ochreous-yellow, apex 

 and termen infuscated ; cilia light yellowish, towards tips 

 whitish, with a fuscous subbasal line. 



Moimt Macedon. Victoria (G. H. Raynor) ; Mount Lofty, 

 South Australia (E. Guest): also from Tasmania; in Decem- 

 ber, three specimens. 



This extremely distinct species does not harmonise well with 

 Heliocausta, but I cannot discover any reliable point of generic 

 separation ; some affinity with Tortricopsis is suggested by the 

 shape of wing, but the palpi do not support this. A weak 

 and fugitive antennal pecten is present.
