yellowish brown, that of meso- and metathorax greyish brown. Ab- 
domen dorsally dark brown, ventrally blackish, with short, yellowish 
hairs; the two apical segments below and above yellowish brown 
and with longer pale yellowish hairs. Coxae and femora reddish 
yellow and yellowish haired; on the underside of the fore femora 
a dark streak near base. Tibiae and tarsi blackish brown and 
yellowish brown haired. Wings hyaline with a yellowish tinge, which 
is strengest on the forewings. In the forewing the longitudinal 
nervures are pale brown with the exception of the costa, the sub- 
costa, the radius and the base of the others, which are yellowish; 
the subcosta and the radius have very long, pale brown streaks. 
Some of the other longitudinal nervures, especially the Cu\ have 
yellowish -abbreviations. 
The cross veins mostly 
yellowish, but some of 
them (especially the costal 
ones) with shorter or lon¬ 
ger dark abbreviations. The 
basal chitinous dot before 
the apical cross vein be- 
tween the stem of R and 
M. Pterostigma opaque, 
pale yellowish brown. In 
the hindwing Ihe basal half 
part hasyellowish nervation, 
^in the apical part some few of tne nervures and of the cross veins 
have some small dark streaks or points, or all the nervation has 
a more brownish and uniformly appearance. Pterostigma opaque, 
pale yellowish brown. Nervation of the wings with short, brown 
or yellow hairs. Length of forewing 28—31 mm; that of the hind¬ 
wing 26 — 29 mm. 
One female (Type), labelled “Australia“, in my collection; one 
specimen (Cotype) with wanting abdomen in Coll. Ti Ilyard (with- 
out indication of locality). 
I place the species in the genus Stenosinijliis Mac Lachl., 
restricted by Kriiger, because the shape and the nervation of the 
wings agree very well with the generic characters; the only difference 
is to be found in the proportionally long antennae with their cylindrical 
Fig. 1.
