head being rather rough on crown, and presence of vein 8 in 

 forewings ; there is no eyecap, but the dilation in some species 

 of rhi/Uornistu is extremely slight. Tlie following species is 

 very like a PJij/Unrr/istis superficially. 



Epirnisfls enryscia, n. sp. 



Female, 8 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, and ab- 

 domen shining white. Forewings lanceolate, apex produced ; 

 shining snow-white : markings dark bronze ; a longitudinal 

 streak from base of costa beneath costa to meet posterior 

 fascia ; a slender mark along dorsum towards middle ; a rather 

 oblique fascia at g, narrow dorsally, furcate on costal half; 

 two transverse fasciae between this and apex : a black apical 

 dot : cilia white, with bronzy basal patches on costal and ter- 

 minal marks, edged externally w^ith some dark fuscous points. 

 Hindwings whitish ; cilia white. 



Mount Wellington. Tasmania, in December : one speci- 

 men. 



EXORECTIS, n. g. 



Plead thinly rough-haired, hairs of face loosely appres- 

 sed : tongue developed. Antennae 2 or nearly, in male fili- 

 form, simple, basal joint rather dilated, with pecten. Labial 

 palpi moderate, porrected, very slender, acute. Maxillary 

 palpi moderately long, folded. Posterior tibiae loosely scaled. 

 Forewings with lb furcate, 2 from angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 

 to costa, 11 from before middle. Hindwings 1, ovate-lanceo- 

 late, cilia 1 : 2-7 tolerably parallel, 4 from angle. 



An interesting form, probably allied to Thereufis : the an- 

 tennae, which are twice the length of the forewings, exceed any- 

 thing outside the Adela group. 



Edorectis autoscia, n. sp. 



Male, 10-12 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, and abdo- 

 men whitish-grey, body thinly scaled. Forewings elongate, 

 rather narrow, costa moderately arched, apex pointed, ter- 

 men extremely obliquely rounded : whitish-grey, irregularly 

 strewn with small fuscous dots and strigulae : cilia whitish- 

 grey. Hindwings thinly scaled, whitish-grey : cilia grey- 

 whitish. 



Gisborne, Victoria, in March and April : two specimens 

 received from Mr. G. Lyell. 



Setomorpha, Z. 

 Head with loosely appressed hairs : tongue absent. An- 

 tpnn« f to almost 1, in male filiform, simple, basal joint mode- 

 rate, without pecten. Labial palpi moderately long, curved, 

 ascending, second joint much thickened with dense scales,
