200 STUDIES IN AUSTRALIAN MICROLEPIDOPTERA, 



Gen. SYNECHODES, n.g. [o-w€\(oS>ys, apparently connecting]. 

 Head with appressed scales. Tongue developed. Palpi 

 moderate, somewhat ascending, thickened with appressed scales; 

 terminal joint short, rather obtuse. Maxillary palpi obsolete. 

 Antennae of <J thickened, and broadly laminate, the laminations 

 closely appressed. Posterior tibiae rough-haired above. Fore- 

 wings with all veins present and separate, 7 to apex, 11 from 

 middle, no secondary cell. Hind wings with all veins present, 3 

 and 4 connate, 5, 6, 7 parallel. 



Near Miscera, differing in the palpi and <J antennae; also with 

 affinity to Tortyra, being, in fact, intermediate between the two 

 genera. 



SYNKCHODKS CONIOPHORA, n.sp. [koi'ioc^o/dos, dust-covered]. 



(J. 16-17 mm. Head dark fuscous. Palpi white, terminal and 

 apical part of second joint dark fuscous. Antennae dark fuscous, 

 with an ochreous ring at §. Thorax dark fuscous ; patagia 

 orange, with a few fuscous scales. Abdomen dark fuscous, with 

 some pale ochreous scales on apices of segments. Legs dark 

 fuscous, with whitish annulations. Forewings somewhat dilated 

 posteriorly, costa straight, slightly arched towards apex, apex 

 rounded, termen obliquely rounded; dark fuscous, evenly dusted 

 with pale ochreous scales; two or three orange suffused sub-basal 

 spots in disc arranged transversely, and closely connected; cilia 

 fuscous. Hind wings dark fuscous; a pale ochreous median streak 

 from base, broadening costally and reaching middle of disc; cilia 

 pale ochreous. Type in Coll. Turner. 



N.Q.: Kuranda, near Cairns, in March; three specimens, re- 

 ceived from Mr. F. P. Dodd. 



Gen. EUTHORYBETA, n.g. [€i)0opv(3r]To<i, easily confounded]. 



Head loosely scaled. Tongue well developed. Palpi moderate, 

 ascending, second joint densely rough-haired beneath; terminal 

 joint short, obtuse. Maxillary palpi obsolete. [Antennae in $ 

 unknown]. Posterior tibiae rough-scaled above. Forewings with 

 all veins present and separate, 7 to apex. Hindwings with seven 

 veins, 3 and 4 coincident, 5, 6, 7 parallel.
