AROGALEA. 49 



; | AN WR < ww . 
12. Arogalea cristifasciella Chmb. Q. 
J. H. Durrant, del. 
Nearest to Telphusa Chmb., from which it differs in having HW: 6-7 separate, and 
from Leptogencia Meyr. [Pr. Linn. Soc. NSW. 29 257, 412-3 no, 47 (1904)] in the 
lack of the rough projecting tuft on the lower side of the palpi, as also in having 
FW: 2 remote from 3. Although not nearly related, Arogalea is liable to be confused 
in tabulations with Aristotelia Hb., owing to the separation of HW: 6-7. Arogalea 
differs in these veins not being truly parallel, in HW: 5 being bent towards 4 at base, 
and in the presence of raised scales in the forewings. | 
1. Arogalea archaea, sp.n. (Tab. II. fig. 10.) 
Antennae white, delicately annulate with brown. Palpi white, the median joint slightly thickened, with a 
proad olive-brown band near the base, a narrower one near its apex ; terminal joint with a narrow band 
near its base, a wide one at its apex. Head and face snow-white. Thorax white, dusted with olive- 
brown. Forewings white, profusely dusted with olive-brown, with many brownish fuscous spots and 
mottlings ; a small one at the base of the costa is followed by another a little beyond it, a third lying 
below the base of the fold; a dorsal streak at about one-fifth crosses the fold upward and terminates on 
the cell; above and beyond this are two more spots, one on the costa, one below and beyond it; these 
are followed by a broad brownish fuscous costal blotch, beyond the middle, which merges at its lower 
end in an olive-brown median shade, and opposite to it is a scarcely smaller dorsal blotch, the apical 
portion of the wing being mottled throughout with brownish fuscous, mixed with olive-brown ; cilia white, 
with lines of olive-brown dusting running through them, tornal cilia pale brownish cinereous. Exp. al. 
13 mm. Hindwings (1) shining, pale grey ; cilia brownish cinereous. -Abdomen brownish cinereous.

2. Arogalea senecta, sp. n. 
Antennae stout, greyish fuscous. Palpi white, with a broad blackish band at the base and a narrower one 
before the apex of the median joint ; with two blackish bands around the terminal joint, one before, the 
other beyond the middle. Head and Thorax greyish white, sprinkled with dark fuscous. Forewings 
‘narrow, elongate, greyish white, with dark fuscous sprinkling throughout and black scale-patches, some 
of which are distinctly raised; a small raised black spot on the costa near the base, a larger black spot in 
and above the fold at about one-fourth, a distinctly raised black patch on and above the dorsum beneath it, 
accompanied by a few chestnut-brown scales, also raised ; beyond this series of spots, which are more or less
