Allied mostly to arietaria, Gn., but distinguished from it by 

 the absence of the horny projection on forehead, antennal pec- 

 tinations, narrower forewings, and other details. One specimen 

 from Toorak, Victoria. 



Chlexias(?) rhyncophora, n. sp. 



Female, 42 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, abdomen, and 

 legs ashy-grey, minutely irrorated with black, palpi very long, 

 nearly four ; thorax with a black longitudinal streak throughout. 

 Forewings elongate, costa arched, hindmargin obliquely rounded ; 

 ashy-grey whitish, minutely irrorated with blackish ; a short 

 black longitudinal streak in middle of wing, another more dis- 

 tinct beneath and before it ; indications of a line from costa at 

 two-thirds towards inner margin ; a strongly dentate line from 

 apex to anal angle, obscurely edged posteriorly with whitish ; a 

 black hindmarginal line ; cilia ochreous-fuscous, tips whitish. 

 Hindwings grey-whitish, darker posteriorly ; an obscure black 

 dot at end of cell ; cilia as in forewings. 



Blackwood, S.A., one specimen, in August. An abnormal- 

 looking species, not a true Chlenias, but in the absence of the 

 male I place it here provisionally. Most probably a new genus 

 will be required to receive it. 



Smyriodes heterochaes, n. sp. 



Male, 42 mm. Head, palpi, legs, abdomen, and thorax slaty- 

 grey, thorax with a black anterior band immediately behind 

 crest, tarsi ringed with whitish. Antennae whitish, pectina- 

 tions six, reddish-tinged. Forewings elongate, costa straight, 

 hindmargin bowed, strongly dentate, oblique ; slaty-grey ; an 

 outwards angulated black line at base ; a black line from one- 

 fourth costa to before middle of inner margin, angulated out- 

 wards in middle, space between the two lines more or less filled 

 with ochreous, sometimes .entirely suffused with ground-colour ; 

 a short oblique black streak on costa before middle ; a black 

 irregular line from beyond middle of costa to inner margin at 

 two-thirds, angulated outwards above middle ; a broad ochreous 

 patch beyond, from costa to inner margin, containing three 

 sharply-defined longitudinal black streaks, one above and two 

 below middle, sometimes suffused with ground-colour ; a strongly 

 waved well-defined black hindmarginal line ; cilia ashy-fuscous, 

 with a whitish line at base, and obscurely barred with blackish. 

 Hindwings with hindmargin subdentate ; dark-fuscous, lighter 

 towards base ; an obscure black dot in middle of wing ; a zigzag 

 line from three-fourths of costa to anal angle ; cilia whitish, with 

 a greyish median line. 



Quite distinct from the other two known-species ; two speci- 

 mens at Blackwood, beaten from Eucalyptus rost7'ata, in August.
