 and on fold towards extremity : cilia white, irrorated with black at 

 base and witli tliree rows of ver^- minute black points, llindwings 

 light grey, with sliglit bronzy reflection ; cilia whitish, with light 

 grey subbasal sliade. 



North Australia, Tort Darwin (Bodd); one specimen. 



Scardia clonodes Meyr, 



This is the only Auetralian species that I have which is correctly 

 referable to Scardia ; of the otiiers which in my paper of Proc. 

 Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales, 1892, I placed there nnder a too wide 

 conception of the genus, australasidla, jiyrocliroa {=xaniliohapta 

 Low.), and inconcisella helon^ to Alocrarchis, cehella to Myrmecozela, 

 and primaeva to Trithnnnora, hitherlo represented by a single New 

 Zealand species. The difference between the sexes of primaeva is 

 remarkable, and I find, jiesides the points noted in my description, 

 there are structural differeiiccs, 7 and 8 of forewings being separate 

 in S tmd stalked in 2 i ^'^d tlie subdorsal tufts much more liirgely 

 developed in § , yet I still think the sexes are correctly placed 

 together. 



y HOLACARTA, n. g. 



Head densely rough-haired ; tongue rudimentary. Antennae i, 

 in c? with moderate whorled ciliations, basal joint short, without 

 pecten. Labial palpi moderately long, second joint with dense long 

 rough tuft of projecting scales beneath, terminal joint shorter than 

 second, ascending, slender, loosely scaled, tolerably pointed. Maxil- 

 larj' palpi moderate, filiform, ascending. Posterior tibiae clotlied 

 with long rough hairs above. Forewings with large tufts of scales; 

 1 b furcate, 2 from towards angle, 3 from angle, 7 to termen, 8 and 

 9 stalked, 10 connate with 8, 11 from middle, llindwings nearly 

 1, elongate-ovate, cilia | ; 2-7 separate, 5 and 6 approximated 

 towards base. 



Type satijrodes Meyr. Allied to Trithamnora. 



Myrmecozela favens, u. sp. 



S $ . 22-25 mm. Head and palpi orange-ochreous, second 

 joint of palpi with dense projecting scales beneath and several 

 lateral bristles, sprinkled externally with dark fuscous. 'Ihorax 

 yellow-ochreous. Abdomen light ochreous-yellowish, sometimes 

 tinged with grey. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, costa gently 

 arched, apex obtuse, termen very obliquely rounded ; yellovr- 

 ochreous : cilia concolorous. Hindwings light grey ; cilia whitish- 

 ochreous. 



Natal, Howick, in April ; eight specimens. I find it no longer 

 practicable to discriminate between Myrmecozela and Amydria, 

 and the latter must therefore be merged in the former as one genus, 

 of which I am acquainted with about fifty species.
