1606 DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA, 
sex is indeed still unknown, but I Lave since obtained true 
species of Philohota so nearly allied to them specifically, that I 
have little doubt of the justice of the change, I also propose to 
include here P. sigmophora and P. suhpunctella, previously placed 
in Eriodyta, which genus I break up, as will be explained later. 
A tabulation of the whole genus is added at the end of the species.

from before f of costa to anal angle, more or less confluent in 
middle and sometimes throughout ; a minute dot in disc at g, and 
in ^ sometimes a small triangular spot on inner margin about 
middle, connected on inner margin with posterior fascia, and 
sometimes with discal dot by a straight slender streak ; a narrow

fuscous. Hindwings dark fuscous, apex sometimes ochreous- 
yellow ; cilia light ochreous-yellow. 
York, West Austi’alia ; in November, .six specimens. Not near 
any other ; the variation of marking is analogous to that in 
Coes, triply cha.
