Differs from all the otlicr Australian species of Salebria (except, perhaps, S. 

 digrammeUa, Meyr., which I have not been able to examine in this particular), in 

 having vein 3 of the hind-wings rising from the angle of the cell, and not from the 

 stalk of 4 and 5 ; also distinguished by the white ground-colour, and sharply 

 expressed transverse lines. 



Taken very commonly in October near Adelaide, in salt-marshes, 

 amongst 8aIicornia australis and Cotula coronopifoUa ; also at Pox't 

 Wakefield, Soutli Australia. 



TyLOC HARES, 11. g. 



Tongue moderate. Antennje of ^ dentate, finely ciliated, with a 

 large tuft of scales in sinuatiou at base. Maxillary palpi in J long, 

 filiform, with two separate, very long, terminal hair-pencils ; in ? 

 short, filiform. Labial palpi moderate, curved, ascending, terminal 

 joint short. Fore-wings with 11 veins, 4 and 5 stalked, 7 and S 

 stalked. Hind-wings with seven veins, two from close before angle of 

 cell, 3 and 4 stalked, 6 and 7 stalked. 



This genus differs from all the rest of the group with basal tuft 

 of the antenna? (exce'pt Dion/ ctria,Z., which has 8-veined hind-wings), 

 in having veins 4 and 5 of the fore-wings stalked, and is also remark- 

 able for the double tuft of the maxillary palpi in the ^, which I do 

 not think has been noticed in any other species. I have formed it for 

 the I'eception of cosmieUa, Meyr., hitherto classed with Euzophera, in 

 the absence of the ^ , the ueuration being very similar ; I recently 

 took both sexes in Wirrabara Forest, South Australia. 



Ileospliora emnjzona, n. sp. 



(J ? . 17 — 22 mm. Head and thorax whitish, mixed with dark fuscous, sides of 

 frontal cone dark fuscous. Antennae pale grey. Palpi whitish, externally suffused with 

 dark fuscous. Abdomen whitish-grey, basal half rather bright ochreous. Legs dark 

 fuscous. Fore-wings elongate, moderate, slightly dilated, costa moderately arched, 

 hind-margin very obliquely rounded ; grey-whitish, irregularly irrorated with dark 

 grey ; a straight, clear, white, sub-costal streak from base to costa before apex, leaving 

 costal margin very narrowly dark fuscous-grey, upper edge rather suffused posteriorly, 

 lower edge sharply defined, bordered beneath by a dark fuscous-grey streak suffused 

 into ground colour : cilia pale grey, with rows of whitish points. Hind-wings whitish- 

 grey, somewhat darker towards apex ; cilia whitish, with a faint grey line. 



Superficially very different from its congeners, and closely resembling Zophodia 

 neotomella, Meyr., but easily known by the ochreous band of the abdomen, and, of 

 course, very distinct structurally. 



Locally common inAVirrabara Forest, South Australia, frequenting 

 the spinifex grass in October ; it is an inactive insect, the ? flying 

 slowly and feebly at dusk. 



The antennal tuft of the (^ is very ill-defined, ap])earing little 

 more than a thickening with rough scales.
