Apparently somewhat intermediate between Feritorneuta 

 and the group of Fsevdodoxid , characteristic of the Indian 

 region. 



Pholeutis neolecta, n. sp. 



Male, female, 10-12 mm. Head and thorax ochreous- 

 brown. Palpi whitish-ochreous. Antennse fuscous. Abdo- 

 men grey. Legs brownish-ochreous, anterior and middle tibiae 

 and tarsi white, tarsi spotted with dark fuscous. Forewings 

 elongate, costa moderately arched, apex round-pointed, termen 

 very obliquely rounded ; ochreous-brown, thinly sprinkled with 

 blackish ; second discai stigma blackish, sometimes connected 

 with tornus by a more or less defined direct fuscous or blackish 

 bar, but this is sometimes wholly absent : cilia brownish- 

 ochreous. HindwingSi grey ; cilia light greyish-ochreous. 



Healesville, Victoria, in December ; seven specimens. 

 Though at first sight inconspicuous, this is a singular little 

 insect ; the colouring of the legs is quite exceptional. 



ScoRPioPSis, Turn. 

 This name appears to supersede Gerycostola, Meyr. : and 

 T believe that superba, Turn., is a synonym of jtyrohola, 

 Meyr., the synonymy being as follows : — 



Scorjjiopsis pyrohola, Meyr. 

 (Gonio7iota pyrohola, Meyr., Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. Walee, 

 1886, 1041 ; Scorpiopsis superba, Turn., Trans. Roy. Soc. S. 

 Austr., 1894, 133 ; Cerycostola pyroboia, Meyr., Trans. Roy. 

 Soc, S. Austr., 1902, 163.) 



STENOMID^. 



I proposie to constitute this a distinct family. It agreee 

 in the main characters with the Xylorycttdce, but differs in 

 having veins 7 and 8 of the forewings separate. To this family 

 I refer the genus Agriophara, now containing about twenty 

 species ; this is the only Australian genus at present known to 

 me, but the New Zealand genus Ilypeuryntis also belongs 

 here. The family is very extensively represented in South 

 America, which appears to be its home. 



COPROMORPHID^. 



I have recently defined this family, which consists at pre- 

 sent of only a few species, occurring in India, Australia, 

 Africa, and the South Pacific islands* They are broad- 

 winged insects, distinguishable from all other Tineina by the 

 possession of a basal pecten of hairs on lower margin of cell in 

 hindwings, such as is characteristic also of the Epibleimdce
