Two specimens sent from near Duaringa, Queensland, by Mr. 

 G. Barnard. 



Crun'ophila, n. g. 



Crun. ramosiriella, Walk. 



{Cramhufi ramostriellus, Walk., Brit. Mus. Cat. 172; Uhida 

 receptalis, ibid. 186; Chilo schistellus, Meyr., Proc. Linn. Soc, 

 N.S.W., IV., 207.) 



16"-2r'. The male only differs from the female in the slightly 

 broader forewings, and in having the hindwings smoky-fuscous, 

 except towards the base, which is white. The species varies 

 somewhat in depth of colouring, being often broadly suffused 

 with brownish- whitish towards dorsal margin ; thorax also often 

 suffused with whitish ; infuscation of hindwings in female variable 

 in extent. 



Several specimens sent by Mr. Gr. Barnard from near Duaringa, 

 Queensland. 



Thixasotia, Hb. 

 Ihin. livittella, Don. 



Prof. Zeller now informs me that his identification of this 

 species, which I accepted, was erroneous, the' description in realitv 

 referring to the insect described by him as Cr. trivittatus ; so 

 that -for the Western Australian species the name of recurvellus, 

 Walk., must be adopted. The synonymy of these two species 

 will therefore be as follows : 



Thin, hivittella, Don. 



Crambus hivittellus, Don., Walk. ; C. trivittatus, 7i., Meyr. 



Thin. 7'ecurvella, Walk. 



Cramhus recurvellus, Walk. ; C. hivittellus, Z., Meyr. 



Thin argyrceles, n. sp. 

 (^ . 9". Head pale ochreous, with a dark fuscous spot on 



middle of forehead, another between antennae, and one on anterior
