594 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, 



with 9, 11 rising out of 10, connected with 12; but the neuration 

 may very possibly be as variable as in the next species. 



11. Sciogl. hemeropa, n.sp. 



(JQ- 28-32 mm. Frontal projection broadly rounded, obtuse. 

 Antennal pectinations 3-J, apical f simple. Fore wings with 

 hindmargin bowed ; very pale whitish-ochreous or whitish-fuscous, 

 with a few scattered black scales, and traces of darker strigulae ; 

 basal area mixed with ochreous or fuscous ; first line indicated by 

 obscure ochreous or fuscous margins, angulated near costa ; median 

 shade ill-defined, ochreous or fuscous, sinuate ; a black discal dot 

 beyond it ; second line faintly paler, dilated and more distinctly 

 whitish on costal third, where it is margined anteriorly narrowly, 

 and posteriorly broadly with ochreous, obtusely angulated on vein 

 5 and submedian fold, upper angle sometimes followed by a 

 blackish spot, median third margined anteriorly with three 

 ochreous or dark fuscous dots ; a faint cloudy white waved sub- 

 terminal line, sometimes followed by one or two cloudy blackish

 pale whitish-ochreous, terminal half white. Hindwings with 

 hindmargin rounded, waved ; colour and markings as in forewings, 

 but becoming whitish towards base, first line absent, median shade 

 faint, second line darker-margined anteriorly on lower half, but 

 becoming wholly obsolete towards costa. 



Newcastle and Sydney, New South Wales ; Melbourne, Victoria ; 

 in September and October, four specimens. All the variations of 

 neuration included in the generic description occur in this species. 



8. Selidosema, Hb. 



Face with short dense somewhat projecting scales or almost 

 smooth. Tongue developed. Palpi moderate, porrected or sub- 

 ascending, rough-scaled, terminal joint very short or rarely 

 moderate. Antennae in £ bipectinated, pectinations slender, 

 moderate or rather long, apex simple. Thorax sometimes shortly 

 crested posteriorly, beneath hairy. Femora glabrous ; posterior
