well-defined black dot in disc at one-third, and another similar 

 obliquely beyond, at about middle; cilia whitish-ochreous, with a 

 row of well-defined black spots at extremities of veins, and con- 

 tinued along apical-fourth of costa. Hindwings whitish- 

 ochreous, 6 and 7 stalked ; cilia as in forewings. 



One specimen, bred from Casuarina quadriralvis, at Arthurton, 

 Yorke Peninsula, in September. Nearest C. hirida, Meyr., but 

 difiers by the sparse markings and wholly whitish hindwings. 



Catoryctis polysticha, n. sp. 



Female, 26 mm. Head, thorax, and antennas fuscous, collar 

 white, palpi fuscous, second joint externally whitish. Legs 

 whitish. Abdomen fuscous, segmental margins dull ferruginous. 

 Forewings elongate, costa rather strongly arched, apex some- 

 what pointed, hindmargin very oblique ; 7 present ; slaty- 

 fuscous ; markings white outlined with blackish ; a moderate 

 streak along costa from base to beyond two-thirds posteriorly 

 strongly attenuated and leaving extreme costal edge fuscous 

 towards base ; a moderate streak from base direct to middle of 

 hindmargin, attenuated at ends ; a similar streak immediately 

 beneath, from base to anal angle attenuated posteriorly ; three 

 rather short fine lines towards hindmargin, between last two 

 streaks; a slender line from three-fourths of disc to costa before 

 apex ; a similar but shorter streak beneath to apex ; some 

 obscure whitish scales along injier margin indicating an unex- 

 pressed streak ; cilia fuscous. Hindwings grey, posteriorly 

 fuscous-tinged ; cilia whitish with a dark-fuscous basal line. 



Intermediate between '^ suhnexella,'' Walk., and 'Hricrena" 

 Meyr. One specimen (at light) in November, at Parkside, S.A. 



LiCHEXAULA MOXOSEMA, U. sp. 



Male and female, 12-16 mm. Head and thorax white, antennae 

 black. Palpi black, base of second and terminal joint white. 

 Abdomen ochreous-fuscous. Legs whitish, slightly infuscated, 

 posterior pair pale ochreous-yellow. Forewings elongate, costa 

 moderately arched, apex pointed, hindmargin very obliquely 

 rounded ; shining white, slightly ochreous posteriorly ; extreme 

 costal edge blackish towards base; a distinct black spot in middle 

 of wing above anal angle ; cilia ochreous-whitish, base darker.

 yellow. 



Parkside, Blackwood, Highbury, ttc, not uncommon during 

 December, January, and February. A neat little species, not 

 unlike a Scieropepla, which I took it to be until corrected by Mr. 

 Meyrick.
