of a few Australian Lepidoptera. 287 



isabelline-testaceous, witli darker markings, indicated rather than 

 pronounced ; the first is basal, and consists of five or six brown 

 points, arranged as an angulated fascia across the wing ; the second 

 is nearly central, rather broad, very oblique, its internal boundary 

 clearly defined, its external boundary indistinct ; it is of a clear 

 ferrugino-testaceous brown, bounded internally by a few still darker 

 spots ; the hinder margin of the wing between this and the base is 

 tinged with the same colour, the apical area of the wing has twelve 

 or thirteen dark brown scattered spots ; hind wings pale brown, 

 immaculate ; the cilia are pale and silky, with a darker central 

 line extending throughout their length ; each of the scales con- 

 stituting the cilia, if examined separately, is found to be very pale 

 at the base, much darker in the middle, and again paler at the 

 apex ; beneath the fore wings are testaceous, the costa paler, the 

 central area deeper and more obscure, the whole sprinkled with 

 darker spots, the hind wings pale testaceous, beautifully sprinkled 

 with clearly-defined darker spots, most of which are elongated 

 transversely. 



Dedicated to Mr. Ashworth, one of our most indefatigable col- 

 lectors of the British Lepidoptera, and the gentleman who has 

 lately added Agrotis Ashworthii and Trochilium SchoUceforme to 

 the British list. One specimen only was taken. I have great 

 pleasure in acknowledging the valuable assistance I have received 

 from .Mr. Stainton, in preparing the description of this and the 

 following Tineina; he has most obligingly examined every speci- 

 men, and agrees with me in believing them all to be hitherto 

 undescribed.

Alls anticis sericatis, micantihus, pallide aureis, apice rufescentibus ; 

 posticts pallide fusee scentibus, ciliis concoloribus : subttis, alis 

 anticis fuscis marginibus omnibus pa llidis ; posticis fuscescen- 

 libus concoloribus. (Alarum dilat. '55 — "625 unc.) 

 Fore wings shining, pale golden with a transverse oblique ill- 

 defined ferruginous fascia near to and parallel with the oblique 

 outer margin ; hind wings pale brown, the cilia of the same 



the Tineina, and not a corresponding group; and the Tineina of the same author 

 seems to me scarcely a natural group, but divisible into several groups equivalent 

 to his Torlricina. The CrambidcE also, on reconsideration, I believe were, at the 

 same date, correctly combined with the Fyralina, a disposition of them at variance 

 with every subsequent arrangement until that of Herrich-Schaeffer, who combines 

 them under the name of Crambides.
