species do not reach so far across the wing. This may be a 

 geographical form only, but it seems distinct enough. 



SURATTHA BATHROTRICHA, n.sp. 



9. 26 mm. Head, palpi, antennae and thorax whitish, palpi 

 fuscous above, strongly haired below, patagia ochreous. Abdo- 

 men ochreous-fuscous. Legs fuscous, posterior pair whitish. 

 Forewings very elongate, costa gently arched, termen hardly 

 rounded, strongly oblique; broadly ochreous throughout costal 

 space; lower two-thirds of wing pale whitish-fuscous; all veins 

 neatly outlined with fuscous; a w-ell defined dark fuscous longi- 

 tudinal streak from base to apex, extremities attenuated, edged 

 below on median third with clearer whitish; a row of blackish 

 dots along termen : cilia whitish. Hind wings with termen 

 rounded; whitish-fuscous; cilia w^hitish, with a fuscous subbasal 

 line. 



Broken Hill, N.S.W.; two specimens, in October. 



Mr. Meyrick has pointed out (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1897, 

 iv., p. 380) that the genus Surattha, Walk., as defined by Sir Geo. 

 Hampson {I.e., 1895, p. 965), is not tenable; as vein 5 of hind- 

 wings is sometimes present. It is present in one specimen before 

 me; and absent, that is, coincident with 4, in another specimen, 

 so that probably this species is more correctly referable to the 

 genus Talis, Guen. 



Talis macrogona, n.sp. 



^. 20 mm. Head, palpi, antennae and thorax ochreous-fuscous, 

 palpi whitish beneath. Abdomen and legs whitish. Forewings 

 elongate, posteriorly moderately dilated, termen hardly rounded, 

 oblique; light brownish; a thick fuscous streak in middle from 

 base to i; a moderate fuscous fascfa from costa at J to inner 

 margin at J with a long sharp angulation outwards in middle, 

 costa between fascia and base and anterior edge of fascia becoming 

 somewhat ochreous; a suffused quadrate fuscous spot in end of 

 cell; a curved dentate fuscous line, edged posteriorly with ochreous, 

 from i of costa to immediately before anal angle; some fuscous
