obscure blackish streak at base, obscurely continued along costa 

 to next fascia; a moderate irregular obscure blackish fascia from 

 costa at ^ to first two tufts; a suffused blackish elongate mark 

 along costa at about |, followed by an obscure blackish row of 

 dots, which are continued round hindmargin to anal angle: cilia 

 grey-whitish, with a few black and ferruginous points. Hind- 

 wings with hindmargin subsinuate; veins 3 and 4 approximated 

 at base, 6 and 7 from a point, gre}^; cilia IJ, grey. 



Broken Hill, N.S.AV.; several si^ecimens beaten from Solavum 

 esuriale in March and AJDril. 



The palpi of the present species hardly agree with the characters 

 of Fsoricoptera. 



COPIDOSTOLA (I) ORTHOTJS, n.sp. 



5. 25 mm. Head, thorax and palpi pale lieshy-white, patagia 

 dark fuscous, palpi strongly tufted, terminal joint short, erect, 

 apex acute, apical half of terminal joint dark fuscous, second joint 

 beneath black. Legs dark fuscous, posterior pair greyish, hairs 

 of posterior pair long, greyish-ochreous. Abdomen greyish. Fore- 

 wings elongate, moderate, apex pointed, hindmargin extremely 

 oblique; 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 3 and 4 separate, 2 from 

 before angle of cell ; pale flesliy-white ; a straight thick black 

 streak from base to apex, attenuated posteriorly, well defined 

 above, somewhat suff'used beneath, suffusion becoming broader 

 towards hindmargin and anal angle, where it has a tendency to 

 become paler and outline the veins ; a few fuscous lines along 

 veins towards costa, hardly perceptible: cilia grey, with a pale 

 fuscous basal line. Hindwings with hindmargin sinuate beneath 

 apex; 3 and 4 separate, 5 bent over to 5, G and 7 nearly parallel; 

 grey; cilia as in forewings. 



Sydney, N.S.W.; one specimen (Coll. Lyell). 



Recalls typical forms of the (Ecophoridce (especially Leptocroca 

 mnguinolenta, Meyr.), to which family I would have referred it, 

 but the sinuate hindmargin of hindwings and absence of pecten 

 seemingly refer it to the Gelechiache.
