H. huebneri Ww. (= careyi Mcical.) (91 b). Body blackish-brown. Antennae dark orange, thus con- huebneri. 
spicuous. Legs dark brown. Wings iridescent hyaline. Veins pale brownish ochreous, costal margin broadly 
pale yellow on % of its length. Fringe brownish ochreous. Hindwing small, corresponding to fore wing. Basal 
half of costal margin broadly black, 26—28 mm. Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane. The sac is 40 mm 
long, 13 mm thick, greyish-white or greyish-brown, very differently decorated according to the very variable 
food-plants. 
H. ptiloclada Meyr. Body black, head and thorax in front whitish. Abdomen rather long. Forewing ptiloclada. 
very oblong, distal margin very oblique. Hyaline-iridescent. Veins and costal margin as far as % pale brownish 
ochreous. % of base densely scaled blackish-brown. Hindwing rather small, marked according to forewing, 
but the blackish-brown colour at the inner margin is more extensive. Fringe of both wings the same. d 28 mm. 
Victoria. 
15. Genus: Oeucluara Wkr. 
Body strong, antennae broadly pectinated except at the apex, not longer than the thorax, thus very 
conspicuous. Abdomen projects hardly beyond hindwing. Forewing with a very oblique distal margin. 
G. cinerea Wkr. Grey. Thorax above and abdomen at the end white. Forewing with 2 black spots cinerea. 
in the disc and one at the inner margin. Some black spots at the distal margin. “16 lines”. N.-S.Wales. It 
may be no Psychid at all. 
16. Genus: Aniiiiula H.-Schdff. 
Antennae bipectinate to the tips. Forewing without vein 5; 8 + 9 stalked, the others separated. Only 
1 spur extends from 1 b to the inner margin, 2 inner-marginal veins are present. According to the original 
figure, only veins 2, 3 and 4 are present in the hindwing, the others are absent except vein 8 which is fused 
with the cell. 
A. herrichi Ww. (91 c). Body black, head and collar greyish-white. Forewing hyaline, except the herrichi. 
costal margin and anal area which are black. According to the original figure, however, only the base is some¬ 
what black at the costal and inner margins. The inner margin of the hindwing is broader black. The specimen 
of the Berlin Museum, which I take to be herrichi, is somewhat different. The immediate base of the forewing 
is also yet greyish-white, the black part behind it extends to % of the costal margin and to % of the inner 
margin; veins 4 and 5 stalked. Veins 4 and 5 of hindwing also stalked, the interior half of the costal margin 
black as far as the centre of the cell. $ 25 mm. Adelaide. Clania tenuis Rosenst. is probably the same. Accord¬ 
ing to Meyrick, the species is identical with Hyal. nigrescens. 
A. sumatrensis Heyl. Thorax white above, with brown hair beneath. No thorn on the anterior tibiae, sumatren- 
Wings hyaline, fringe white. Fore wing somewhat oblong, veins 4 + 5 on a long stalk, 7 + 8 the same. Discal 
cell in front extended outwards. Veins 2—7 of hindwing separated, very short. Abdomen also short. Sac 
greyish-white, that of the <$ 24mm long, 2—5 mm thick, that of the $ 55 mm long, 3—8 mm thick. $ 
18—20 mm. Sumatra. 
e) Subfamily: Oeceticinae H.-Schdff. 
The two inner-marginal veins of the forewing anastomose and despatch several branches to the inner 
margin. The partition-vein of both cells bifurcated. 
17. Genus: Oiketicus Guilding. 
The typical species are only distributed in America, the Indian ones belong to the 
Subgenus: Dappula Mr. 
Antenna of strongly pectinated on two thirds of its length. Both wings very much extended at the apex. 
Anterior tibia with a thorn. Abdomen long. 
0. tertius Tempi. (= templetonii Ww.). Thorax greyish-black, abdomen blackish-brown. Forewing tertius. 
dark greyish-brown with brown veins. A black spot in the cell-end, slightly darker behind it and at the base 
of the inner margin. Hindwing somewhat lighter than forewing, veins brown. The sac is about 35 mm long, 
8 mm thick, spun with small remnants of leaves, 35 mm. Hongkong, Ceylon. 
0. riemsdyki Heyl. Antennae blackish-brown, not pectinated in the last third. Body strongly brown- riemsdyki. 
haired. Forewing with liver-brown scales and hair. Hindwing coloured the same, slightly pressed in at the 
distal margin, veins 4 -f 5 on a short stalk. The sac is 70—80 mm long, spindle-shaped, spun with pieces of 
leaves and whole leaves. 50—52 mm. Sumatra. 
18. Genus: Metura Wkr. 
Separated from Oiketicus by still narrower forewings. The tip of the antenna is not pectinated and 
relatively longer. Veins 3, 4 and 5 of hindwing present, only two of these three being present in Oiketicus.
