margins ; a hind-marginal row of black dots ; cilia white (im- 

 perfect). Hind wings whitish, with a very faint greyish sub- 

 terminal line ; cilia white. 



Mr. Mathew states that lie took the species amongst 

 sugar-cane; it probably feeds on that plant, and must 

 therefore be introduced with it, but I have not been able 

 to identify it with the described sugar-cane-feeding species 

 of this and allied genera. 



Fiji (Mathew, Lueas) ; two specimens. 



Crambus, F, 



130. Cramhus hapaUscus, Z. 



Port Moresby, New Guinea (Matheio) ; Fiji [Lueas) ; 

 several specimens. Also from Eastern Australia, Ceylon, 

 and South Africa. 



131. Cramhus cuneiferellus, Walk. 



Norfolk Island, New Hebrides, and Tonga (Mathew) ; 

 Fiji (Lucas) ; common. Occurs also in Eastern Australia, 

 to which I had already predicted that it would be found 

 not to be confined ; the range now established proves 

 that Australia possesses no really indigenous species of 

 Crambus. 



AUTAROTIS, n. g. 

 Forehead romided ; ocelli present ; tongue well developed. 

 Antennae two-thirds of fore wings, in male shortly ciliated. Labial 

 palpi very long, straight, porrected, with dense loosely appressed 

 scales, attenuated to apex. Maxillary palpi moderately long, 

 triangiilarly dilated, resting on labial. Fore wings with veins 2 

 and 3 stalked, 4 and 5 from a point, 7 rising out of stalk of 8 and 

 9, 10 closely approximated to 9, 11 bent. Hind wings with veins 

 4 and 5 from a point, 6 and 7 stalked, 8 anastomosing with stalk of 

 6 and 7 from beyond cell to beyond 6, lower median pectinated ; 

 under surface with a longitudinal furrow beneath anastomosed 

 portions of 6 and 8. 



Characterised by the stalked veins '2 and 3 of fore 

 wings, and furrow of hind wings.
