edge rounded; two or three undefined white dots on fold; a broad 

 white transverse blotch from middle of costa, reaching more than 

 half across wing, sometimes much mixed with groundcolour; an 

 irregular suffused white streak from disc beyond this to tornus, 

 where it coalesces with an irregular white subterminal streak, 

 sometimes interrupted : cilia pale ochreous-yellow, towards tips 

 white, with two faint fuscous lines, above apex with a fuscous 

 patch mixed with blackish. Hindwings pale ochreous-yellowish, 

 terminal half fuscous, division irregular and suffused; cilia pale 

 yellowish, with two dark grey shades becoming obsolete towards 

 tornus, 



Newcastle and Sydney, New South Wales; Melbourne, Vic- 

 toria; Launceston, Tasmania; Mount Gambier, South Australia; 

 from November to January and in March, twelve specimens; a 

 common species. 



36. Phloeograptis, n.g. 



Antennee 4, in ^ moderately ciliated (1), basal joint moderate, 

 without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint 

 thickened with appressed scales, somewhat roughened towards 

 apex beneath, terminal joint as long as second, acute. Fore- 

 wings : 2 and 3 stalked, 8 and 9 out of 7, 7 to apex. Hindwings 

 1 or somewhat over 1, trapezoidal, termen not sinuate, cilia |; 3 

 and 4 connate, 5 slightly approximated to 4, 6 and 7 tolerably 

 parallel. 



Type P. macrynta. A distinct genus, correlated to Protolechia, 

 but easily recognised by the neuration; all the species are coloured 

 in adaptation to the trunks of stringy-bark Eucalypti, apparently 

 an effective concealment, for they are seldom met with. Imago 

 with forewings elongate, moderate, apex obtuse, termen rounded. 



1. Second joint of palpi with defined dark basal area 2, 



Second joint of palpi without such area 213. zopherota. 



2. Forewings narrowed anteriorly, without dark streaks 



except towards dorsum 211. macrynta. 



Forewings not narrowed anteriorly, with scattered dark 



streaks 212. brachynta.
