Allied to the following species, but differs by the absence 

 of the median band ; the grey-whitish female is an abnormal 

 looking variety, but is unquestionably referable to this species. 



Broken Hill, New South Wales; three specimens (at light), 

 during April and May. 



Amelora platydesma, n. sp. 



Male and Female, 28--30 mm. Head, thorax, palpi, and 

 abdomen silvery-grey, in female fuscous tinged, antennal pec- 

 tinations 4, face with moderate horny projection, abdomen 

 ochreous tinged. Legs greyish. Forewings shaped as ia 

 'lieteropa ; " silvery grey, irrorated with a few scattered fuscous 

 scales ; a broad dull reddish transverse median fascia, con- 

 stricted on lowei-l half, and edged obscurely with blackish, ante- 

 rior edge strongly sinuate inwards, from costa. at one-fourth to 

 inner margin at one^fourth ; posterior edge irregularly dentate 

 throughout, projections more pronounced on upper half, fron^ 

 costa at five-sixths to immediately before anal angle ; 

 a large blackish discal spot; some blackish scales 

 along termen, hardly forming definite markings ; cilia 

 silvery-whitish. Hind wings with termen faintly waved ; 

 grey-whitish, darker in female, but becoming lighter 

 towards base in both sexes; an obscure transverse sub- 

 median series of moderate fuscous dots, more pronounced on 

 rmderside, obscure in female; a faint fuscous discal dot; cilia 

 as in forewings. 



This may prove to be a variety of the above, as the markings 

 approach very closely in both species. Should it be the case 

 the present species is well worth a name, as it is such a dis- 

 tinct looking insect. 



Broken Hill, New South Wales ; two specimens taken at light 

 in April. I have seen a. specimen from Birchip, Victoria, 

 taken in May. 



Chlenias heteromorpha, n. sp. 



Male and female, 27-32 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax cinere- 

 ous-grey, face with a median homy projecting plate, entire, 

 apex acute. Antennas ochreous, pectinations 4. Abdomen ochre- 

 ous. Legs cinereous-whitish, posterior pair blackish. Fore- 

 wings very elongate, triangular, somewhat narrower in female, 

 termen obliquely rounded ; fuscous, mixed with dark fuscous 

 and whitish, so as to appear ashy-grey-whitish, lighter in female 

 and mixed with ochreous and whitish ; base ochreous in both 

 sexes ; veins irregularly outlined with blackish ; a short oblique 

 blackish streak from costa near base ; a second, indicating 

 first line, just beyond and parallel ; costal space between 

 whitish ; second line similar to first, from one-third of costa ;
