Ill 
nal joint of palpi is somewhat longer than the characters of 
HyiJertriclia, that is, one-quarter of second, I scarcely con- 
sider it necessary to erect a new genus for its reception, but 
should the male show additional characters there may be some 
justification for doing so. 
Broken Hill, New South Wale^. One specimen ; in 
March. 
ELACHISTID^. 
COLEOPHORA, Hb. 
Antennae four-fifths, porrected in repose, often thickened 
with scales towards base, in male simple, basal joint long, 
usually with rough scales or projecting tuft. Labial palpi, 
long, recurved, second joint more or less roughened or tufted 
towards apex beneath, terminal shorter, acute. Posterior 
tibiae rough-haired. Forewings with costa often long-haired 
beneath ; lb furcate, 4 sometimes, 5 absent, 6 and 7 con- 
nate or stalked, 7 to costa, 8 absent. Hindwings two-thirds, 
linear-lanceolate : cilia 3-4 transverse veins sometimes partly 
absent, 4 usually absent, 6 and 7 closely approximated or 
stalked. 
COLEOPHORA OCHRONEURA, Low. 
(PluteUa ochroneura, Low., Tr.R.S.S.A., p. 59, 1897.) 
Semaphore, South Australia. 
COLEOPHORA PUDICA, n. Sp. 
Male, 16, 18 mm. Head, palpi, thorax, antenna, legs, 
and abdomen snow-white ; base of palpi, antennae, and thorax 
beneath faintly ochreous-tinged. Forewings elongate-lanceo- 
late : snow-white, veins very faintly outlined with pale fus- 
cous, not perceptible in some species : cilia white. Hindwings 
and cilia snow-white. 
Differs from oclironevra by its smaller size, white ground 
colour, and absence of ochreous streaks. This genus has not 
been previously recorded from Australia, but is numerously 
represented in Europe, Asia, and North America. Mr. Mey- 
rick, to whom specimens were submitted, mentions that the 
different species are very difficult to distinguish unless the 
larval habits are known ; the larvae when very young are leaf 
miners, but afterwards inhabit a portable case ; attaching this 
to the leaf or seed vessel on which it feeds, it bores into the 
interior : in leaves a pale blotch is usually produced, with a 
round hole in one membrane, which distinguishes the mines 
of this genus from all others. I know nothing of the larval 
habits of either of the above species ; they were taken at 
light. 
Broken Hill, New South Wales. Nine specimens : in 
April.
