DiCASTERIS, n. g. 



Head smooth; tongue developed. Antennae |, basal joint 

 moderate, with pccten. Labial palj^i moderately long, curv- 

 ed, ascending, second joint with appressed scales, rather rough 

 beneath, terminal joint shorter than second, acute. Posterior 

 tibiae with long hairs above. Forewings with upper fork of ib 

 nearly obsolete, 2 from |, 4 absent, 6 and 7 out of 8, 7 to 

 costa, 11 from middle. Hindwings |, lanceolate, cilia 2; 4 

 absent, 2, 3, 5 parallel, 6 and 7 stalked. 



A curious genus, of which the exact affinity is doubtful, 

 but ^'t appears to have some relation to the TioiAophanes 

 group. 



Dicasteris leucastra, n. sp. 



Female, 12 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, thorax^ and ab- 

 domen dark fuscous, upper edge of palpi white. Forewings 

 broad-lanceolate : dark fuscous ; a rather broad erect ochreous- 

 white mark from tornus, reaching more than half across 

 wing : cilia fuscous, mixed with darker towards base. Hind- 

 wings dark fuscous ; cilia fuscous. 



Tasmania ; one specimen, without further particulars 

 (Ray nor). 



EUMENODORA, n. g. 



Head smooth, sidetufts spreading behind ; tongue develop- 

 ed. Antennae |, in male simple, basal joint moderate. Labial 

 palpi moderate, curved, ascending, with appresed scales, ter- 

 minal joint shorter than second, acute. Posterior tibiae cloth- 

 ed with long hairs. Forewings with 2-6 parallel, 7 and 8 

 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from beyond middle. Hind wings §, 

 narrow-lanceolate, cilia 2 ; veins 2-7 parallel. 



This would seem to be an early unspecialized type. 



Eu7nenodora encrypta, n. sp. 



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

 bronzy-fuscous; second joint of palpi ochreous-whitish at 

 apex, and towards base beneath. Forewings lanceolate ; 

 bronzy-fuscous irr orated witn blackish-fuscous, with a few 

 whitish scales : cilia fuscous, towards base irrorated with black- 

 ish-fuscous. Hindwings dark grey ; cilia grey. 



Brisbane, Queensland, in September ; one specimen. 



Opogona, Z. 

 This name must be substituted for Lozostoma, Stt., being

 H. Durrant for kindly calling my attention to the fact that 

 I made a serious error in overlooking the existence of fairly- 

 developed maxillary palpi (I probably mistook them for the 

 sections of the tongue) ; the genus must certainly therefore be
