In presenting the following species as new to Science, I must 

 acknowledge the assistance given to me by Mr. E. Meyrick, our 

 well-known Australian authority on Entomology. Mr. Meyrick 

 has examined most of the species here described, compared notes 

 with the British Museum collection, and with French and 

 Gterman authors, and has confirmed or advised me as to the 

 genus. In one species he has established a new genus to receive 

 the species. I cannot too greatly thank him and praise his zeal 

 in the cause of Science, but I have found always with him as 

 with all our greatest scientists, a liberality and a helping hand 

 worthy of Science. I must also thank Mr. G. Barnard, Dr. 

 Turner, Dr. T. L. Bancroft, and others for assistance rendered.
