38 STUDIES IN AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTEEA. 



subterminal line of dots, ending in a white subtornal dot ; 

 cilia fuscous barred Avith white beneath apex, in sinualion, 

 and in subtornal incision. Hindwings with termen deeply 

 sinuate beneath apex, irregularly dentate towards tornus ; 

 colour as in forewings ; a curved transverse whitish line 

 at J ; a white discal spot before middle ; a whitish line from § 

 costa at first sinuate and approaching termen, dentate in 

 middle, then bent inwards, and again bent to end in 

 dorsum above tornus ; cilia da-rk-fiiscous, irregularly barred 

 with white. 



Type in Coll. Turner. 



N.8.W., Ebor (4,000ft.), in January ; one specimen. 



Gen. Trigonobela, nov. 

 XQiyovo^eXog, with triangular weapons (palpi). 



Frons flat. Tongue well-developed. Palpi moderately 

 long, curved, r.,scending ; basal and second joint densely 

 clothed with long scales beneath, forming a triangular mass 

 on second joint ; terminal joint triangularly scaled, and 

 forming an angle with second joint. Maxillary palpi 

 filiform. (Antennse in ^ unknow^n). Posterior tibiae with 

 outer spurs about J inner. Forewings with 3, 4, 5 

 approximated at base, 6 from above middle, 7 approximated 

 At base to 8 and nearly straight, 8, 9 long-sta,lked, 10 

 separate but closely approximated to their common stalk. 

 Hindwings with 3, 4, 5 a,pproximated at base, and 4, 5 

 approximated for a short distance, 6 and 7 connate, 7 

 anastomosing with 8 for about | it?-' length. 



The terminal joint of labial palpi resembles that of 

 Agrotera, but in that genus the sealing of the first and 

 second joints forms three distinct triangles. 



Trigonobela nebridopepla, n. sp. 



ve^QidonenXoQ, clad in a fawn-skin. 



2 34 ram. Head whitish-ochreous. Palpi fuscous- 

 b)rown. base sharply ochreous-whitish. Antennae pale- 

 brown. Thorax and abdomen pale-brown. Legs brown- 

 whitish ; anteiior tibiae and tarsi annulated with fuscous. 

 Forewings elongate-triangular, coSta sca,rcely arched, apex
