BY E. MEYRICK. 547 



small dots : cilia whitish-ochreous, terminal half on hindmargin 

 suffused with rather dark fuscous. Hindwings whitish-grey ; cilia 

 grey-whitish. 



Sydney, New South Wales ; in August, two specimens. 



16. Chrysoryctis, Meyr. 



Head densely rough-haired ; ocelli absent ; tongue short. 

 Antennse almost or quite 1, in (J shortly pubescent or simple, 

 joints closely set, basal joint without pecten. Labial palpi 

 moderate, porrected, second joint shortly rough-scaled, with several 

 bristles towards apex, terminal joint short, rough-scaled beneath, 

 tolerably pointed. Maxillary palpi long, tolerably filiform, folded. 

 Posterior tibiae clothed with long hairs. Forewings with vein 1 

 furcate, 7 to costa, 11 from before middle. Hindwings |-1, 

 elongate-ovate or ovate-lanceolate, cilia 1 ; veins tolerably parallel. 



Differs from Tinea essentially only by the longer antennae, 

 which are almost or quite as long as the forewings, whilst in Tinea 

 they are at least one-sixth shorter ; but the difference is sufficiently 

 well-marked, and the genus is a natural and easily recognisable 

 one, all the species being yellow with similar dark markings. The 

 genus is confined to the Australian region, and is doubtless an 

 endemic development of Tinea.
