A new Micropterygid from Australia. 393 



compared with the Micropterygina. Anomoses is, I beheve, 

 particularly interesting as indicating the origin of the 

 Hepialidae. Its size and shortness of antennae together 

 with its general facies are similar, and the neuration of 

 the forewings is exactly that of Fraus, Wlk. {Hectomanes, 

 Meyr.), except for the presence of the extra vein arising 

 from 12.
