Mr. R. Rosenstock on Australian Lepidoptera. 377 



omissions of described species, as well as occasional inaccu- 

 racies in the description of the venation, hardly to be expected 

 from so careful a worker. 



Unfortunately the concluding portion of the paper on the 

 Acophoridse has not yet reached me, and I am in consequence 

 obhged to omit one or two species, the genera of which I 

 believe I succeeded in identifying by the introductory tables. 



In conclusion, I must express my thanks to Lord Walsing- 

 ham for kindly allowing me to examine the Australian Micro- 

 lepidoptera in the Zeller collection, as well as a small number 

 of specimens received from Mr. Meyrick. 



Unless where otherwise stated, single specimens only of each 

 species were received. 



Rhopaloceea. 



Lycsenidse.

Lyc^na, Fabr. 

 (707.) Lyccena mcerens. 



Closely allied to L. erinus, Fabr. (Don. Ins. N. Holl. 

 pi. xxxi. fig. 3), but smaller and much darker. The wings 

 of a dull greyish black, the blue being pronounced only on 

 extreme base of fore wings and upon abdominal area of hind 

 wings. Underside cinereous, differing from erinus (1) in the 

 enlargement of the lower three instead of two of the submar- 

 ginal row of spots ; (2) in the presence on the apical region 

 of the hind wing of a large irregular blackish-grey subapical 

 blotch ; (3) instead of the series of sagittate markings of 

 erinus^ the wings are traversed by three distinct parallel row^s 

 of blackish dots ; (4) fringes white-spotted, resembling Holo- 

 chila anita, Semper (Journ. d. Mus. GodefFroy, xiv. p. 163).
