wardly oblique whitish fascia before middle, edges parallel, well 

 defined, with dark-fuscous scales ; some half-dozen dark-fuscous 

 dots in fascia ; basal part of disc darker coloured than beyond 

 fascia; cilia dark-fuscous, with a whitish subapical line, at anal 

 angle whitish. Hind wings and cilia dark-grey. 



Nearest G. xylophanes, Turn., but very distinct by the oblique 

 whitish fascia. 



Brisbane, Queensland ; one specimen in September. 



Gracilaria leptalea, n. sp. 



Male and female, 6-7 mm. Head and thorax whitish. Palpi 

 white; second joint with an apical, terminal joint with a median 

 dark-fuscous ring. Antennae dark-grey. Abdomen dark-grey. 

 Legs whitish ; apex of tarsal joints fuscous ; anterior tibiae and 

 first tarsal joints, outer aspect of distal portion of middle and 

 posterior tibiae dark -fuscous. Forewings ochreous-fuscous ; a 

 white line along inner- margin, somewhat dilated at anal angle, 

 much obscured by dark-fuscous scales, especially from one-fourth 

 to middle; a fine line from costa at one-fourth, running closely 

 beneath costa to three-fourths, there bent obliquely across disc 

 to anal angle ; its lower margin suffused with dark-fuscous, 

 oblique portion edged on both sides with dark-fuscous ; middle 

 third of costal edge narrowly white ; an oblique white streak 

 from costa before apex towards middle of hindmargin ; cilia 

 white, with a median and apical dark -fuscous line, on anal angle 

 grey. Hindwings and cilia grey. 



A minute species, very distinct from any other I have seen. It 

 cannot be G. albomarginata, Stt., which is a larger insect without 

 oblique fasciae. 



Brisbane, Queensland ; six specimens on a fence in August and 

 September, almost certainly derived from Acacia Cunning hamii. 



Ornix trigonophora, n. sp. 



Male and female, 10-11 mm. Head and palpi white. Antennae 

 grey. Thorax white, sides fuscous-grey. Abdomen grey, tuft 

 white. Legs white, annulated with grey ; anterior pair grey. 

 Forewings narrow-elongate ; fuscous-grey, markings white : a 

 broad line along inner-margin, its posterior half containing 

 several streaks of ground-colour ; three short oblique lines from 

 costa at two-fifths, three-fifths, and four-fifths ; a straight fuscous 

 line, with leaden metallic lustre from costa before apex to anal 

 angle ; a dark-fuscous line around margin at apex, enclosing 

 with the preceding a triangular white area, within which is a 

 greyish-ochreous blotch, containing a central blackish spot ; cilia 

 white, at apex with apices dark-fuscous, at anal angle grey. 

 Hindwings and cilia grey.
