 present ; tongue developed. Antennee |, in cJ minutely ciliated, 

 basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, curved, 

 ascending, second joint with appressed scales, slightly roughened 

 anteriorly towards apex, terminal joint considerably shorter than 

 second, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform,

 veins 6 and 7 of hindwings, which are quite exceptional in the 

 family, but the relationship to X. polyxesta is close. Lowers

 by him from Adelaide, and others taken by myself at Wirrabara, 

 Bathurst, Sydney, and Glen Innes.
