Posterior tibiie rouorh-hairecl. Fore\vin<TS with tufts of scales on 

 surface; lb furcate, 7 and 8 out of 6, 7 to costa. Hindwings §, 

 narrow-lanceolate, cilia 3-4 ; transverse vein sometimes absent 

 l)etween 4 and 5, 6 and 7 seldom stalked. 



A highly characteristic Australian genus, of which one species 

 occurs in New Zealand; in this latter the normal scale-tufts are 

 but ill developed, and were therefore not mentioned in my original 

 description. The genus is a development of Trachydora, and 

 only differs from it in the absence of the tuft on the second joint 

 of palpi. The arrangement of the scale-tufts, which tend to 

 form several oblique series of three tufts each, is the same in both. 

 Imago with forewings elongate-lanceolate ; the species are 

 numerous, mostly similar and obscure, and present considerable 

 difficulties They are usually attached to species of Myrtacccs, 

 the known larvaj feeding in the spun shoots.
