tawny, more or less suffused with deep ferruginous towards costa 

 posteriorly : cilia light ochreous, with deep ferruginous median 

 line round apex. Hindwings blackish-grey; cilia grey, on costa 

 paler and ochreous-tinged. 



Sydney, New South Wales ; Campbelltown, Tasmania; from 

 October to February, four specimens, and type also seen. I 

 believe this species is attached to Banksia. 



54. Ypsolophus, Fab. 



Antennae 4, jn $ ciliated, rarely with subbasal sinuation and 

 tooth, basal joint moderately elongate, without pecten. Labial 

 palpi very long, ascending, second joint with dense projecting 

 tuft beneath, sometimes with rough scales above, terminal joint 

 as long as second or longer, slender, acute. Forewings : 2 and 

 3 stalked, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa. Hindwings 1 or over 1, 

 trapezoidal, termen sometimes sinuate, cilia |-|; 3 and 4 connate 

 or stalked, 5 somewhat approximated to 4, 6 and 7 closely ap- 

 proximated or stalked. 



A genus of some extent and very general distribution, not, 

 however, found in New Zealand ; the Australian species are 

 mostly very similar to those found elsewhere. Imago with fore- 

 wings elongate.
