round ; in ^ a faint pale fascia at § ; cilia as in forewings, in ^ 

 mucli shortened and less sharply marked. 



Mount Kosciusko (5000-5500 feet), New South Wales; in 

 January, common. 



16. Anomocentris, n.g. 



Face with very small cone of scales. Tongue absent. Palpi 

 short, stout, porrected, rough-scaled. Antennee in ^ bipectinated 

 throughout, pectinations ending in tufts of long cilia. Posterior 

 tibiae in both sexes without median spurs. Forewings with areola 

 simple. Hindwings with veins 6 and 7 stalked. 



Only the following very distinct species is at present known. 

 It is doubtless to be regarded as a development from Xanthorhoe, 

 with very well-marked distinguishing characters.

 longitudinal streak above middle from base to ?, posteriorly furcate; 

 a streak along basal third of inner margin ; a straight transverse 

 streak before middle parallel to hindmargin, not reaching costa ; 

 a somewhat sinuate streak from | of costa to § of inner maigin, 

 emitting a strong tooth posterioi'ly in middle, above which it is 

 sometimes interrupted by a spot of blackish-fuscous scales ; a 

 submarginal streak from apex to anal angle, sinuate so as to 

 touch hindmargin below middle : cilia pale fuscous, irrorated with
