PHYCIDIDiE. 

 Lasiocera, Mei/r. 

 Lasiocera antelia, n. s. 

 <y,18mm. Head, palpi, antennae, and thorax dark fuscous; 

 basal half of antennae roughened with black scales above, but 

 much less strongly than in L. canilinea. Abdomen ochreous- 

 yellow. Legs dark fuscous, posterior tibiae ochreous-yellow above. 

 Fore wings elongate -triangular, narrow at base, costa slightly 

 arched, apex tolerably obtuse, hind margin somewhat oblique, 

 slightly rounded ; dark fuscous, somewhat purplish -tinged, some- 

 what mixed with grey ; both lines double, obscurely blacker, dis- 

 tinct biit inconspicuous ; first from about two-fifths of costa to 

 middle of inner margin, slightly angulated in middle ; second from 

 four-fifths of costa to four-fifths of inner margin, sinuate on upper 

 half; cilia dark greyish fuscous, with a darker line. Hind wings 

 orange-yellow, apex of costa very narrowly infuscated ; ciha 

 oclireous-yellow, above apex purplish fuscous. 



Immediately distinguished from L. canilinea and 

 Pempclia opimella by the absence of the dark fuscous 

 border of the hind wings. 



Ardrossan, South Australia ; one specimen. 



EUCARPHIA, Hh. 



I am now satisfied that E. cnejjhceella, Meyr., is merely 

 an autumnal strongly-marked form of E. tritalis, Walk., 

 of which it should therefore be quoted as a synonym. 



Etiella, Z. 



To this genus should be referred Ampycoijhora apoto- 

 mella, Meyr., which is a true Etiella. In the specimen 

 originally examined vein 5 of the fore wings was absent, 

 and also vein 5 of the hind wings, and the palpi appear 

 to have been accidentally injured ; but having since 

 obtained further specimens (from Brisbane and New 

 Guinea), I find that in the fore wings vein 5 is normally 

 present, rising from a point with 4, whilst in the hind 

 wings veins 4 and 5 are both present and long-stalked ; 

 it is, I think, probable that the original specimen is 

 rather an example of accidental deformity than of 

 normal variation ; the palpi are more ascending in
