to just before anal angle, posteriorly edged with whitish dots ; a 

 hindmarginal row of fuscous dots between veins ; cilia ochreous, 

 slightly reddish-fuscous tinged. Hindwings with hindmargin 

 waved ; pale greyish ochreous, fuscous tinged ; a denticulate 

 fuscous line from beyond middle of costa to just beyond middle 

 of inner-margin ; a similar parallel, less distinct, yet thicker, line 

 beyond ; interspace clearer greyish ochreous; hindmarginal area 

 suffused with ochreous fuscous ; hindmarginal dots and cilia as 

 in forewings. One specimen ; Gisborne, Victoria, in January. 

 Quite distinct from any other species of the genus that I have 

 met with. 



TINEINA. 



iEcOPHORID.E. 



Phlceopola pyrocentra, n. sp. 



Male, 20 mm. Head, thorax, and antennae fuscous. Antennal 

 ciliations one and a-half. Palpi whitish. Legs greyish, banded 

 with fuscous ; posterior pair wholly grey. Abdomen grey. Fore- 

 wings moderate, elongate, costa gently arched, hindmargin 

 obliquely rounded; dark fuscous, with a broad, fleshy-red, suffused, 

 longitudinal streak through middle of wing, becoming blotch-like 

 towards hindmargin ; two or three very suffused blackish spots 

 on upper edge, a short, fuscous streak at one-third from base, 

 placed on band ; cilia fuscous. Hindwings and cilia fuscous. 

 One specimen, Broken Hill, N.S.W., in April. A curious-look- 

 ing and distinct insect. The palpi are rather short for this 

 genus. 



Philobota monadelta, n. sp. 



Female, 25 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax orange-yellow. 

 Second joint of palpi externally fuscous on apical half. Thorax 

 with a narrow, dark-purplish-fuscous anterior band. Antennae 

 fuscous. Abdomen greyish. Legs greyish ; posterior pair 

 yellowish. Forewings elongate, moderate ; costa gently arched, 

 apex round-pointed, hindmargin oblique ; bright yellow ; a small, 

 irregular, dark -fuscous patch on anal angle ; cilia yellow, tips 

 fuscous-tinged, becoming fuscous on anal spot. Hindwings dark- 

 fuscous, becoming lighter towards base, hairs at base yellow ; 

 cilia fuscous, mixed with yellow round anal angle. One specimen 

 near Sydney in December (Coll. Lyell). Rather an abnormal- 

 looking species, recalling a large specimen of Microbela epicona, 

 Meyr. 



PELTOPHORA (?) LEUCOPLACA, 11. Sp. 



Female, 18 mm. Head and palpi snow-white, second joint of 

 palpi infuscated externally, especially towards base. Thorax
