49. Ectr. argalea } n.sp. 



(J. 19 mm. Head and thorax whitish-ochreous. Antennae 

 with two short slender pectinations (1) on each side of each joint, 

 terminating in fascicles of cilia. Forewings with hindmargin 

 gently rounded ; 10 separate, 11 absent; pale ochreous, slightly 

 brownish-tinged, with a few scattered black scales ; usual lines 

 faintly indicated by groups of black scales, but not distinctly 

 traceable ; a conspicuous black discal dot ; a series of indistinct 

 blackish marks on hindmargin. Hindwings with hindmargin 

 rounded, unevenly waved ; colour and markings as in forewings. 



Sydney, New South Wales ; in October and April, two speci- 

 mens. The smallest species in the genus, differing from all the 

 rest in the wholly whitish-ochreous head and thorax. 



50. Ectr. isombra, n. sp. 



(J^. 23 mm. Head fuscous or whitish-fuscous, face sometimes 

 with an indistinct darker bar. Antenna? in £ with two short 

 acute teeth on each side of each joint, terminating in extremely 

 long fascicles of cilia. Forewings with hindmargin gently rounded; 

 11 out, of 10, running into 12 ; pale whitish-fuscous, irrorated 

 with white and black ; first line dark fuscous, very ill-defined, 

 preceded by a cloudy brown shade ; median shade slender, ill- 

 defined, dark fuscous, irregular, rather strongly curved, preceded 

 by a dark fuscous discal dot ; second line blackish, tending to be 

 interrupted or dotted, slightly curved, sinuate inwards near inner 

 margin, nearly followed by an indistinct brownish shade ; subter- 

 minal obscurely whitish, waved, more or less suffusedly margined 

 with dark fuscous ; a -hind marginal series of blackish dots. Hind- 

 wings with hindmargin rounded, waved ; colour and markings as 

 in forewings, but first line absent, median shade straight, followed 

 by discal dot. 



Duaringa and Brisbane, Queensland, in April; two specimens 

 received from Mr. Barnard and Dr. Lucas. Differs in neuration 

 from all the rest of the genus ; an obscure-looking species, resem- 

 bling E. exsuperata but smaller and duller, and the antennae of 

 the £ bear small teeth instead of well-developed pectinations as in 

 that species.
