Newcastle, New South Wales; two specimens 

 (Australian Museum). The condition of the palpi did 

 not permit me to make sure whether this species 

 belongs here or to the preceding genus ; but I think 

 here. 



PYRALIDIILE. 

 Balanotis, Meyr. 

 Balanotis carinentalis, Walk. 

 Also from Townsville and Duaringa, Queensland ; 

 Newcastle and Kiama, New South Wales. 



Balanotis didymalis, Walk. 

 The female differs from the male in having the yellow 

 colour of the costa and inner margin of hind wings 

 replaced by white : the specimens described by me are 

 male, and not female, as erroneously stated. 



Also from Cape York, Queensland ; Newcastle, New 

 South Wales. 



Balanotis crypsaula, n. s. 

 Balanotis recurvalis, Meyr., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 



1884, 70 (nee. Walk.). 

 Two species having been confused, as noted above, 

 1 propose this name for the one which I originally, but 

 erroneously, described as recurvalis. 



The quotation of Tasmania as a locality is incorrect
