A neat-looking species, having a silky appearance, and some- 

 what the facies of a Philohota. One specimen at Blackwood in 

 November. 



LiNOSTICHA CHRYSOLOMA, n. Sp. 



Male, 10 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, and abdomen 

 blackish, palpi internally whitish, second joint with a white 

 apical ring, terminal joint spotted with whitish at base. Legs 

 dark fuscous, posterior pair yellow, tibife and tarsi ringed with 

 whitish. Forewings with costa slightly arched, apex rounded, 

 hindmargin obliquely rounded ; dark-fuscous ; cilia dark-fuscous, 

 tips lighter. Hindwings bronzy -fuscous ; cilia golden-orange, 

 apical-third fuscous-tinged. 



An interesting little species, known by the small size and 

 golden cilia of hindwings. One specimen, Parkside, in May. 



LiNOSTICHA DICHROA, U. sp. 



Male and female, 17-22 mm. Head and thorax dark-fuscous, 

 sprinkled with whitish. Palpi fuscous, minutely sprinkled with 

 whitish. Antennae fuscous, annulated with whitish. Abdomen 

 blackish. Legs dark-fuscous, anterior tibi&e banded with white, 

 posterior pair densely clothed with long orange hairs. Forewings 

 elongate, slightly dilated posteriorly ; costa nearly straight, 

 somewhat arched near apex ; apex round-pointed ; hindmargin 

 obliquely rounded ; dark-fuscous, more or less irrorated suffusedly 

 with whitish, so as to appear ashy-grey-whitish ; a black dot in 

 disc before middle, a second on fold obliquely beneath and 

 beyond it, and a third in disc at two-thirds ; a slender suffused 

 blackish streak beneath costa from base to third discal dot, 

 sometimes continued to anal angle ; a hindmarginal row of 

 suffused black dots, continued along apical third of costa ; cilia 

 ashy-grey-whitish, tips paler. Hindwings clear-orange, paler in 

 some specimens ; cilia fuscous-yellowish. 



Common at Parkside, in October, on post and rail fence 

 during a high wind. Probably dislodged from the adjoining 

 Eucalyptus rostrata ; the species is easily known by the hind- 

 wings. In the present genus vein 7 of the forewings extends 

 to the apex, but in the present species it is continued slightly 

 above, or more correctly to costa ; though it is undoubtedly 

 rightly referred. 



Nephogenes xylochroa, n. sp.

 ashy-fuscous. Legs dark-fuscous, posterior pair and all tibije
