at present I am disposed to think that there is some error of 

 locality ; two of the three types in the British Museum are said 

 to be from an unknown source, the third from Australia, without 

 more precise indication. The above diagnosis is drawn from these 

 types. 



Xemox>hora sabulosella, Walk. 497, is described as Australian : 

 the small genus Neniophora, differing from Adela mainly in the 

 possession of long folded maxillary palpi, is otherwise exclusively 

 European, and its occurrence in Australia is very improbable, and 

 has never been confirmed. The species in question (a greyish- 

 ochreous insect with grey hindwings) closely approaches the 

 European N. j^conzerella, if indeed not actually identical with it, 

 and at present I refuse to include it in the Australian fauna 

 without further evidence. 



\ 3. Sentica, Walk. 



Head with loose rather rough hairs, face with tolerably 

 appressed scales ; ocelli absent; tongue absent. Antennae under 

 •|, joints elongate, in ^ dentate, fasciculate-ciliated, basal joint 

 thickened with small tooth of scales, without pecten. Labial 

 palpi rather short, porrected, loosely haired, terminal joint short, 

 somewhat pointed. Maxillary palpi absent. Posterior tibiae 

 with appressed scales. Ovipositor of ^ very long. Forewings 

 with vein 1 furcate, 7 to hindmargin, 8 absent, 9 and 10 some- 

 times stalked. Hindwings 1, trapezoidal-ovate, cilia -| ; 6 and 7 

 somewhat approximated. 



Only the two following species are known. The genus may 

 probably be a development of Xysmatodoma. 



Forewings with white spots 6. oppositella ^. 



Forewings with golden spots 6. opposiiella <J, 



Forewings with orange fasciae 5. heliozona. 



5. Se7it. heliozona, n.sp. 



9. 20mm. Head, palpi, thorax, abdomen, and legs blackish; 

 anal tuft whitisb-ochreous beneath. Antennae pale ochreous- 

 yellowish. Forewings suboblong, costa sinuate, apex obtuse,
