252 LEPIDOPTERA OF EBOR SCRUB, N.S.W., iii., 



veloped, from middle of cell, 6 and 7 separate, 8 not connected 

 with cell, but closely approximated from near base to middle. 



Certainly a primitive genus in this subfamily, probably the 

 most primitive known. The neuration of the forcwings and the 

 structure of the male posterior tibia? agree with Rhodostrophia 

 Hb., which, however, has 6 and 7 of hindwings stalked. Auta- 

 nepsia Turn., agrees in antennal structure, but has also 6 and 7 of 

 hindwings stalked, and has lost the middle spurs of the posterior 

 tibife in the ^. Independently of these differences, the structure 

 of 8 of hindwings is more similar to that of the ii onoctenianct 

 and Boarmimue than of other Acidaliance; but the neuration of 

 the forewings clearly shows that the genus belongs to the latter 

 group. 



Prototvpa dryina, e.sp. 

 ^pvivo<i, of tlie woods. 



$. 25 mm. Head whitish, face pale ochreous. Palpi 1^; pale 

 ochreous, towards base whitish. Antennae whitish; in $ dentate, 

 ciliations 1. Thorax and abdomen whitish. Legs whitish: 

 anterior pair fuscous-whitish. Forewings triangular, costa nearly 

 straight, apex pointed, termen bowed, oblique, whitish; a slender, 

 pale fuscous line from f dorsum towards, but not reaching, costa 

 a little before apex; a pale fuscous terminal line; cilia whitish. 

 Hindwings with termen gently rounded, whitish; a pale fuscous 

 terminal line; cilia whitish. 



One specimen, taken on January 7th, 1914. This species was 

 overlooked in my previous papers on the scrub-fauna. 



Subfam. B o a r m i a n J5 . 

 Gen. Lyelliana, n.g. 

 Frons smooth or with a triangular, anterior tuft of scales. 

 Tongue well-developed. Palpi rather long, porrect, shortly 

 rough-haired; terminal joint short, concealed. Antennse of $ 

 bipectinate, apex simple. Thorax not crested; hairy beneath. 

 Femora smooth-scaled or slightly hair}'. Posterior tibiae of ^ 

 not dilated. Forewings oblong, base of costa very strongly 

 arched; in ^ with a well-marked fovea; 10 long-stalked with 7, 

 8, 9, 11 from cell free or connected with 12. Hindwings broader 

 than forewings; neuration normal.
