Sydney and Murruruncli, New South Wales, in November ; 

 three specimens (1 <£, 2 $). 



20. Machetis Meyr. 



Head densely scaled, sidetufts large, meeting, projecting some- 

 what over face. Antennae in $ rather stout, somewhat serrate, 

 with short uneven cilia (J), basal joint rather stout, in $ more 

 elongate, without pecten. Palpi long, second joint exceeding base 

 of antennae, strongly thickened with dense appressed scales, 

 slighly loose beneath ; terminal joint shorter than second, strongly 

 reflexed, slender. Thorax with dense erect crest. Forewings 

 elongate, moderate, apex 'obtuse, hindmargin obliquely rounded. 

 Hind wings hardly narrower than forewings, elongate-ovate, hind- 

 margin rounded, cilia f. Abdomen rather stout, strongly 

 margined. Posterior tibae clothed with very long hairs. Forewings 

 with vein 7 below apex, 2 from before angle of cell. Hind wings 

 normal. 



Apparently most allied to Oenochroa, and probably a develop- 

 ment of it, but this is by no means certain ; it differs from all the 

 neighbouring genera by the termination of vein 7 in the hind- 

 margin ; in the short ciliation of the antennae, and absence of the 

 basal pecten, it resembles Sphyrelata. 



120. Mack, aphrobola, n. sp. 



Media, alis ant. saturate ochreo-fuscis, maculis costae duabus 

 magnis, dorsi duabus anticis conjunctus, strigulaque anguli analis 

 niveis ; post, dilutissime flavidis, apicem versus griseis. 



$ $. 15J-19. mm. Head snow-white. Palpi white, densely 

 irrorated with dark fuscous except on outer side of terminal joint, 

 and apex of second joint. Antennae whitish, suffusedly annulated 

 with dark fuscous. Thorax dark fuscous, with a white posterior 

 spot. Abdomen whitish-ochreous. Anterior and middle legs dark 

 fuscous, tarsal joints with whitish apical rings ; posterior legs 

 whitish-ochreous. Forewings moderate, costa gently arched, apex 

 round-pointed, hindmargin obliquely rounded ; dark ochreous- 

 fuscous, lighter in middle of disc ; a large rounded-triangular
