rough projecting scales above and beneatli, terminal joint moder- 

 ate. Thorax without or sometimes with slight crest. Forewings 

 with 3 from angle, 7 separate, to. termen. Hindwings with 3 

 and 4 connate, 5 approximated at base, 6 and 7 closely approxi- 

 mated towards base. 



Closely allied to Tortrio:, of which it may be regarded as an 

 endemic development. In addition to the characters of antennae 

 and palpi, it is marked as a natural group by its geographical 

 restriction and {)robab]y also by being almost exclusively attached 

 to plants of the Natural Order Proteacece, especially Bcmksia, 

 with which I have always found them associated. The species 

 are usually inactive, and seldom i-emoved from their foodplant. 

 None possess a costal fold.

232. A. charistis, n.sp. 



(J. 16-17 mm. Head and thorax white. Palpi 3^, ochreous) 

 white above and towards base beneath. Antennse strongly 

 dentate. Abdomen whitish. Forewings elongate, rather narrow 

 towards base, posteriorly dilated, costa slightly arched, apex 

 obtuse, termen straight, rather oblique; white, with some small 

 fine scattered pale ochreous-yellowish strigulte, especially towards 

 margins, where they are touched with grey; a deep yellow streak
