whitish rings at apex of joints. Fore wings elongate, narrow, costa 

 slightly arched, apex round-pointed, hindmargin very obliquely 

 rounded ; dull grey, thinly irrorated with blackish ; a small black 

 dot in disc before middle, another obliquely somewhat before it on 

 fold, and a third larger and more conspicuous in disc beyond 

 middle; cilia light grey, irrorated with blackish. Hindwings 

 grey ; cilia light grey. 



An obscure species, liable to be overlooked. 



Blackheath, New South Wales (3500 feet), in January and 

 March ; tolerably common. 



25*. Locheutis n. g. 



Head with appressed scales, sidetufbs rather small loosely 

 appressed. Antennae in $ moderate, somewhat serrate, with 

 whorls of long cilia (,2J-4), basal joint moderate, without pecten. 

 Palpi moderately long, second joint somewhat exceeding base of 

 antennae, thickened with dense appressed scales, somewhat rough 

 beneath, terminal joint shorter than second, moderate, recurved. 

 Thorax smooth. Forewings elongate, apex rounded, hindmargin 

 very obliquely rounded. Hindwings slightly narrower than fore- 

 wings, elongate-ovate, hindmargin rounded, cilia f to 1. Abdomen 

 moderate. Posterior tibiae clothed with rather short dense hairs 

 above. Forewings with vein 7 to apex, 2 from before apex of cell. 

 Hindwings normal. 



This genus is not included in the analytical tabulation, as I have 

 only recently obtained the species on which it is founded. It is 

 allied to Eulechria, differing in the long ciliations of the antennae, 

 and the absence of the basal pecten. In the tabulation it should be 

 referred to the same head as Linosticha and Macronemata, but 

 distinguished from both by the absence of the pecten. It may be 

 regarded at partially intermediate between Phloeopola and Eule- 

 chria ; I consider it to be probably an offshoot from a genus 

 (perhaps extinct) which should connect these two. Further 

 material is required to decide the affinities of these small allied 

 genera. This genus is as yet exclusively Tasmanian.
