Mount Lofty, South Australia ; one specimen received from 

 Mr. O. B. Lower, who took it among Banksia, with others. The 

 costa of the forewings is more strongly arched than in either of 

 the other two species, and the stripes of thorax broader ; the 

 posterior tibite are less developed and the tarsi much more so ; it 

 differs also from 31. leucochrysa in the dark fuscous discal dot.

 of back. Abdomen white. Legs white, anterior pair ochreous- 

 tinged above, posterior tibiae twice as long as femora, slightly 

 ochreou.s-tinged, hairs moderate, tarsi half as long as tibiae. Fore- 

 wings elongate, rather narrow, costa moderately arched, apex

 median streak. Hindwings prismatic whitish ; cilia white. 



York, West Australia; three specimens beaten horn Banksia, 

 in October. Distinguished from both the preceding by the less 

 arched costa of forewings, the submedian streak not extending 

 into cilia nor reaching extreme apex, and especially also by the 

 row of black scales on base of cilia at its termination. 



35. Hestiaula, n.g. 



Head densely rough-haired, face smooth ; ocelli present ; tongue 

 absent. Antennae 1-|, basal joint much dilated, concave beneath
