446 Mr. E. Meyrick on the classification 



with an abrupt triangular indentation below middle ; cilia as in 

 fore wings. 



Sydney, New South Wales, in September and October ; 

 three specimens. 



Myriotis, n. g. 



Forehead tolerably flat, rather obhque ; ocelli present ; tongue 

 well-developed. Antennae three-fourths of fore wings, in male 

 shortly bipectinated, pectinations rather thick, flattened, clothed 

 terminally with rather long cilia. Labial palpi rather long, 

 straight, porrected, clothed with dense projecting scales above and 

 beneath, somewhat attenuated towards apex, terminal joint con- 

 cealed. Maxillary palpi short, terminally dilated with dense 

 scales. Thorax posteriorly hairy. Abdomen in male with moderate 

 anal tuft, valves small, exserted, scaled. Posterior tibiae with outer 

 spurs half inner. Fore wings with vein 10 approximated to 9, 11 

 moderately oblique. Hind wings as broad as fore wings ; veins 

 3, 4, 5 somewhat approximated, 7 out of 6 near origin, anasto- 

 mosing with 8 to middle. 



Near to the preceding, but specially characterised by 

 the pectinated antennae. 



Myriotis ptoalis, Walk. 



Botys j)fonsalis, Walk., 728; Osiriaca inturbidalis, ib., 

 Suppl., 1493. 



(? , 23 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, and thorax whitish ochreous ; 

 Bides of palpi and shoulders tinged with fiiscous. Abdomen 

 whitish ochreous, yellowish-tinged. Legs whitish, anterior femora 

 dull carmine-reddish, anterior tibiae and middle femora dark 

 fuscous. Fore wings triangular, moderately broad, costa gently 

 arched, apex round-pointed, hind margin somewhat bowed, 

 oblique ; pale brownish ochreous, costa suffused with yellowish 

 ochreous ; cilia grey, tips grey-whitish. Hind wings light ochreous- 

 yellow ; cilia yellow-whitish, base greyish. Under surface of both 

 fore wings and hind wings with a strong dark fuscous transverse 

 streak from costa towards apex, tolerably parallel to hind margin, 

 reaching half across wing. 



Having obtained this species for examination, I find 

 that my conjectural reference to Eurycreon was quite 

 unwarranted. 



Sydney, New South Wales, in September ; two speci- 

 mens.
