beyond three-fourths of cell, 3, 4, 5 approximated at base, 7 and 8 

 separate, 7 to hind margin. Hind wings broader by one-fourth 

 than fore wings, irregularly ovate, cilia one-foiu'th ; veins 3 and 4 

 short-stalked, 5 approximated to 4 at base, 6 and 7 parallel ; lower 

 median, 1 a, and 1 b with very dense pectinations towards base. 



Even in the extended sense of the family, this genus 

 can hardly with justice be brought within its limits ; 

 but it will not agree better with any other established 

 family, and the creation of a new one, which is probably 

 necessary, may with advantage be deferred until further 

 material is obtained. The nearest ally to it which I 

 possess is an undescribed genus from Eastern Australia, 

 in which veins 8 and 9 of the fore wings are stalked,

 (J , 26 — 30 mm. Head white. Palpi white, second joint suffused

 with purphsh, shoulders narrowly purplish fuscous. Abdomen 

 pale greyish ochreous, mixed with grey. Legs dark fuscous, apex 

 of joints white, posterior pair suffused with whitish. Fore wings 

 moderately broad, gradually dilated throughout, costa somewhat 

 sinuate, posteriorly moderately arched, apex very obtusely rounded, 

 hind margin rounded, not oblique ; whole disc with numerous tufts 

 of raised scales ; white, obscurely strigulated in disc with pale 

 yellowish ochreous, and towards margins with pm-plish luscous ; a 

 fuscous-purple blotch along basal fourth of costa, ending in a 

 blackish spot ; a large ill-defined inwardly oblique fuscous-purple 

 blotch from middle of costa, reaching half across wing, containing 

 two blackish spots on costa, the posterior smaller ; a short black 

 curved longitudinal linear black mark in middle of disc ; two small 

 black spots on costa towards apex, and some scattered small black 

 spots towards hind margin ; cilia ochreous-whitish, with an ochreous 

 basal line, barred with fuscous-purplish, except at apex. Hind
