speck and meeting at its outer end a narrow whitish streak, also from the costa—these both merge in a 
pale yellowish ochreous patch beyond the end of the cell; other steely grey scales and pale streaks pass 
through an elongate suffused patch lying on the dorsum below the pale ochreous patch, while above it, 
but separated by a line of blackish scales, the subcostal area is suffused with dark chestnut-brown nearly 
to the apex, the costal edge alone being pale ochreous, continued as a median streak at the base of the 
brownish cilia in the unciform apex; below the subapical incision is a pale ochreous, or almost whitish, 
patch on the termen, margined on its inner side by steely grey scales, and on its outer edge on the base 
of the cilia by parallel brown lines; the dorsal cilia brownish ochreous, somewhat mottled about the 
tornus. Hep. al. 11-12 mm. Hindwings subopalescent, grey; cilia brownish grey. Abdomen shining, 
brownish grey. Legs whitish, with a fuscous band across the hind tarsi, and brownish ochreous hair- 
clothing on the tibiae; anterior legs banded alternately with white and brownish fuscous. 
Larva with 16 legs, elongate, slender, rather strongly constricted between the somites: pale greenish white, 
with slight indications of ochreous longitudinal lines; spots blackish, distinct, each emitting a rather 
long blackish hair; head and pronotal plates pale yellowish, with several small black spots; mesothorax 
and metathorax each with two conspicuous round black spots, one on either side. Long. 9 mm. Roliing 
the edges of the leaves of Stigmaphyllon emarginatum A. Juss. (Malpighiaceae).

Necedes stigmaphylli Wlsm. + brevipalpis, var., an sp.n.? Asingle ?, also from Runaway 
Bay, taken 30. III. 1905, is indistinguishable in colour and markings from the series of 
stigmaphylli, but it has the remarkable peculiarity of possessing a much shorter and stouter 
terminal joint to the palpi—for this I would suggest the name brevipalpis, in the hope that with 
more material some further differences may be recognised, justifying a more detailed description.

1. Necedes incisa, sp. n. 
Antennae pale cinereous, annulate with brown. Palpi pale cinereous, annulate on both joints with greyish 
brown, of which there are four bands on the median and two on the terminal joint, somewhat ill- 
defined. Heud brownish ochreous. Thorax dark brownish, the tegulae tipped with ochreous. /orewings, 
with a narrow, deep, curved incision below the uncate apex, pale brownish ochreous, much mottled with 
dark brown, of which there is a spot at the base of the costa, a larger patch at the base of the dorsum, 
an outwardly oblique band, from the costa at one-fourth, extending a little across the middle of the fold, 
immediately followed by a pale, shining, steel-grey costal blotch, also reaching nearly to the fold, and 
extending to the middle of the wing; beyond this are two very oblique whitish costal streaklets, 
outwardly dark-margined, embedded in the dark brown colour which overspreads the remainder of the 
costal portion of the wing, with the exception of a narrow space below and adjacent to them which is 
pale ferruginous; a dark line from the end of the second streak, its upper edge tinged with ferruginous, 
a whitish space below it being cut longitudinally, and narrowly margined outwardly, 
by lines of ferruginous scales; the termen is shining, whitish, a slender black curved line, outwardly 
margined with ferruginous, running through the cilia from the base of the subapical incision, a black dot 
preceding it at about its middle. Eep.al.12 mm. Hindwings dark brownish grey ; cilia scarcely 
paler. Abdomen shining, steel-grey. Legs greyish fuscous, obliquely banded externally with whitish.
