hindmargin rounded, little oblique; 7 and 8 stalked; pale fuscous- 

 grey, densely strewn with whitish scales, and transversely strigu- 

 lated with dark fuscous ; a distinct transverse linear dark fuscous 

 mark in disc above middle at § : cilia fuscous-whitish, base more 

 fuscous-tinged. Hindwings whitish-fuscous ; cilia as in forewings. 

 Duaringa, Queensland ; one specimen received from Mr. G. 

 Barnard. Although obscurely marked, it is readily known by the 

 peculiarly dilated and obtuse form of the forewings, and large 

 size. 



14. Xysm. lasiocola, n.sp. 



(J. 17 mm. Head, palpi, thorax, and abdomen rather light 

 brown-grey. Antennae grey, t-egs dark grey, apex of joints 

 tinged with whitish-ochreous. Forewings elongate, costa mode- 

 rately arched, apex obtuse, hindmargin obliquely rounded ; 7 and 

 8 stalked ; grey-whitish, closely strigulated transversely and 

 reticulated with fuscous, forming two or three larger and darker 

 fuscous spots on posterior half of costa : cilia fuscous-whitish, 

 basal third with alternate fuscous and- whitish quadrate spots. 

 Hindwings grey, thinly scaled; cilia grey, more whitish towards 

 tips. 



Mount Kosciusko, New South Wales ; one specimen taken 

 on the very summit of the mountain (7200 feet), in January. An 

 inconspicuous insect, distinguished rather by the absence of the 

 special characteristics of its allies, but the well-marked spots at 

 the base of cilia of forewings are a good point.

 whitish. Thorax fuscous, posteriorly whitish, generally with a 

 whitish anterior dorsal spot. Abdomen whitish-grey. Legs dark 

 fuscous, apex of joints and posterior pair grey-whitish. Forewings 

 elongate, costa rather strongly arched, apex obtuse, hindmargin
