Gen. ELLOGIMA, nov. 



eAAoyt/7.o?, noticeable. 



Frons flat, oblique. Tongue well-developed. Palpi 

 moderate, porreet ; second joint thickened with appressed 

 hairs above and - beneath ; terminal joint short, acute. 

 Antennae of ^ thickened and bent downwards at J, with 

 dense short hairs on underside of bend. Forewings with 

 obtusely rounded apex ; 8, 9, 10 stalked. Hindwings 

 with discocellular very oblique, 3, 4, and 5 from angle, 

 and 7 anastomosing with 8 for some distance. 



Allied to Campiomastyx, Hmps., but with much shorter 

 palpi. 



Ellogima macroperalis. 



Pileiocera macroperalis, Hmps., Tr. E. 8., 1897, p. 214. 



(J 18-20 mm. Head fuscous. Palpi fuscous ; under- 

 surface except apex white. Antennae fuscous ; ciliations 

 in (J 1. Thorax and abdomen fuscous. Legs whitish.. 

 Forewings elongate, costa strongly concave in middle,, 

 strongly arched before apex, apex very obtusely rounded, 

 termen slightly bowed, oblique ; fuscous with darker lines ; 

 an irregularly w^avy, fine, obscure, transverse line at J ; 

 a suffused discal spot beneath mid-costa ; postmedian line ' 

 more distinct, finely dentate, from | costa, produced out- 

 wards in mid-disc, then bent inwards to beneath discal 

 dot, and again bent to f dorsum ; apical area suffused with' 

 leaden-fuscous ; cilia pale-fuscous with a darker sub-basaf-i

Gen. METALLARCHA. 



Metallarcha, Meyr., Tr. E. 8., 1884, p. 331. 



This genus and the allied endemic genera require 



careful differentiation from each other, and from Loxostegey 



Hb. (PhlyctiTuodes, Gu.), of which the two species a§initalis 



Led., and massaUs, Wlk., occur in Australia. 



I suggest the following scheme of differentiation : — 



A. Maxillary palpi not dilated. 



B. Frons with a short, stout, acute prominence, 



nearly forming an equilateral triangle . .
