294 Mr. H. T. Stainton's Descriptions of 



Giacilaria alho-marginata, n. sp. (PL X. fig. 3.) 



Alis anticis saturate griseis dorso niveo, costa pone medium 

 anguste nivea, puncto apicis atro, postice nigro circumcincto. 



Exp. al. 4^ lin. 



Head white, with a few grey scales. Face white. Labial 

 palpi white, with a dark grey ring before the apex of the 2nd 

 joint, and with the base and tip of the terminal joint greyish. 

 Maxillary palpi white, very minute. Antennae white, with grey 

 annulations. 



Anterior wings dark brownish-grey, with a narrow white stripe 

 all along the inner margin, and with the costa narrowly white 

 from the middle to near the apex. The margins of these streaks 

 are not sharply defined ; that on the inner margin especially is 

 very jagged, making several indentations into the dark portion of 

 the wing; at the apex is a minute black spot, with a bluish tinge 

 in certain lights ; the hind margin is expressed in black scales. 

 Cilia grey, intersected by a row of blackish scales round the hind 

 margin, and wiih a tendency to a small projecting blackish hook. 



Posterior wings grey, with greyish-brown cilia. 



Anterior legs with white femora ; the tibiae dark grey exter- 

 nally, white internally ; the tarsi white, with two broad, dark 

 grey blotches. Middle legs: femora white; tibiae dark grey, 

 with white blotches ; tarsi white. Hind-legs whitish ; tarsi 

 white, spotted with dark grey. All the legs have an unusually 

 hairy appearance. 



This appears to be one of the smaller Gracilaria, with ill- 

 developed maxillary palpi ; but the only specimen I have seen 

 has the antennae broken and the abdomen wanting, and the thorax 

 too injured for description. 



The insect has considerable resemblance with some of the 

 phases of Lyonetia padifoliella, but it cannot be referred to the 

 genus Lyonetia. 



The specimen described was captured by Mr. Sylvester Diggles, 

 at Moreton Bay, North Australia. 

 In my own Collection.
