 Male and Female. — Head white, with a frontal black spot ; 

 thorax white ; antennae brown ; eyes black ; fore wings satiny 

 white, with a slender but very distinct brown costa, and a broad 

 central black stripe, which extends from the apex to the base, 

 and is adorned with a few scattered yellow scales ; the hind 

 wings are entirely white, with the same satin-like gloss ; the ab- 

 domen is black above, with six bright yellow fasciae ; beneath, 

 the wings are white and glossy, suffused with a smoky tinge, the 

 costa of the fore wings delicately margined with brown ; there is 

 no trace of the black vitta, so conspicuous on their upper surface ; 

 the legs are smoke-coloured, each adorned with four snow-white 

 spots ; the sternum is clothed with long loose smoke-coloured 

 hair ; the abdomen black, palest at the tip. 



A very common Australian insect, but apparently undescribed ; 

 I have named it in lionour of Dr. Boisduval, whose works are 

 indispensable to the student of Lepidoptera.

 myself in 1834, in preference to adopting the more restricted group to which 

 Mr. Stainton, twenty years subsequently, applied the same name: the Tiweina 

 of Newman comprises the whole of that group now generally understood as 

 Microtepidoptera. The Tortricina of Stainton properly constitutes a division of
