Intermediate between C.postvittana, Walk., and C.mnemosynana, 

 Meyr., but differing from both in the very pale colouring and 

 extremely faint markings ; in the rudimentary costal fold of the 

 male, and the whitish hindwings, it resembles the latter species, 

 but in the markings of the fore wings it rather approaches the 

 former ; the palpi of the male are proportionately longer than in 

 either. The sexes do not perceptibly differ in colouring. 



A fine pair taken in cop. near Launceston, Tasmania, amongst 

 dry bush at the end of January. 



Arotrophora, Meyr. 



Arotr. ochraceella, "Walk. 



(^Cramhus oehraceellus, Walk., Brit. Mus. Oat., 177.) 



(^. 15"-16". Head white, with an orange spot on anterior 

 margins of eyes. Palpi three and a half times as long as head, 

 white, externally ochreous-orange. Antennae ochreous-orange. 

 Thorax white, anterior margin and shoulders suff usedly yellowish- 

 ochreous. Abdomen elongate, stout, white. Legs white, beneath 

 ochreous-tinged. Forewings broad, oblong, rather dilated pos- 

 teriorly, costa gently arched, apex obtusely pointed, hindmargin 

 rather sinuate, slightly oblique ; deep ochreous-orange, lighter 

 and mixed with white in disc below middle and towards hind- 

 margin, the darker tint seeming to form a broad suffused 

 subcostal streak, a narrow dorsal streak, and a round suffused 

 spot in disc at two-thirds from base ; a white costal streak from 

 base almost to apex, attenuated to each extremity, somewhat 

 speckled with orange, its lower margin suffused into ground 

 colour ; a very ill-defined white suffusion along vein 1 ; cilia 

 light ochreous-orange mixed with white (defective). Hindwings 

 white, faintly speckled with pale orange ; cilia white. 



This remarkable and very striking species, from its large size 

 and conspicuous colouring, cannot be confused with any other 

 insect. From the neuration, and structure of the palpi and
