162 AUSTRALIAN GELECHIANAE 
Type Chelaria discissa Meyr. (Exot. Micro. i, p. 581), 
from Kuranda, near Cairns. Nearly allied to Chelaria Haw., 
but differs in having two tufts on each palpal joint instead 
of one, and in the raised scales on forewings. The latter 
character is better marked in the species described below 
than in the type. Diuscissa has vein 6 of the forewings 
stalked ; this is an inconstant character in many genera. 
EPISACTA TOREUTA n. Sp.

gd. 14 mm. Head whitish. Palpi whitish; external 
-surface of second joint including tufts with two transverse

small tuft of whitish scales on costa at 2; several tufts of

blotch on costa from } to #, its apex reaching to fold; a
