302 STUDIES IN AUSTRALIAN NEUROPTERA, iv. 



spotted and marked all over with darker grey-bi'own, hindwiiiff 

 much clouded. Cross-veins of the outer o-i>adate series in both 

 wings sti'ongl}' marked with black. Hindiriny with six branches 

 to Rs. FenestpJla absent. Litnvhs of forewing coalesced intf) a 

 single, long lunule. Xamher of iiradate crost^-vpins abo^■e Cu,, in 

 foi'ewing, 9 in inner, 11 in outer series; in hindwing, '^ in inner, 

 10 in outer series. 



T y p e in Coll. Tillyard. Unique. 



Easily distinguished by its small size, broad and scarcely 

 falcate forewings, dark grey-brown colouration, absence of 

 fenestella, and fusion of lunules. 



7. Drepanacra froggatti, n.sp. (Plate xiv., fig. 17). 



A small specimen, expanse If) -5 mm., in Mr. Froggatt's col- 

 lection. Resembles D. hardyi in size and venation, and in the 

 absence of fenestella; differs from it in possessing a much more 

 falcate forewing, and a totally different colouration, this latter 

 being variegated as in the type-form of D. instabiUfi McLach., 

 but duller. rrround-colour of forewing pale greyish-ochreous, 

 semi-hyaline ; an ii-regular, dull brownish cloud behind the 

 lunules, which are separate, four in number, but not very dis- 

 tinct; a slight brown cloud around the median fork, and five or 

 six, faint, oblique, brown fasciie running into the wing from the 

 costa. About five of the cross-veins of the outer gradate series, 

 situated behind the lunule, marked wath black. Hindwing 

 marked with greyish-brown on pterostigma, along base of hind- 

 margin, along whole of outer gradate series, and on Cu,,,. 



Type in Coll. Froggatt. Unique. Not labelled, but Mr. 

 Froggatt tells me that it was taken in Victoria. It resembles a 

 very dwarfed D. instahilis. 



Genus Drepanomina, n.g. (Plate xiv., fig. 18). 



Characters as given above in the table. 



A very distinct genus, easily recognised by the costal hump 

 on the forewings, the extreme falcation of both fore- and hind- 

 wings, and the absence of Cuo in the hindwing.
