anal angle. Hindwings dark fuscous, somewhat bronzy ; cilia 

 fuscous, with a darker subbasal line. 



Mackay, Cooktown, and ToAvnsville, Queensland ; three spe- 

 cimens in January and February. 



Temnolopha metallota, n. sp. 



Male, 18 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax purplish, thorax 

 with a dense reddish-fuscous posterior crest. Antennae 

 ochreous. Legs gi-eyish. Forewings elongate, moderate, 

 costa gently arched, termen obliquely rounded, veins 7, 8, 9 are 

 closely approximated at base, 8 and 9 are almost from a point 

 from angle, in mosaica 9 is from well beyond the angle; dull 

 bluish-purple ; costa obiquely strigulated with fine short fus- 

 cous and white strigulae ; a fine fuscous line from costa at one- 

 third to inner margin at one-third, evenly curved outwardly on 

 uppei' three-fourths, and with an indentation just above inner 

 margin, groiuid color between this and base , finely and trans 

 versely strigulated with waved fuscous lines ; an irregular trans- 

 verse ferruginous patch, from costa beyond middle to inner 

 margin beyond middle, much narrowed on lower half, contain- 

 ing a few blackish scales just above inner margin ; two mode- 

 rate irregular transverse ferruginous fasciae, first from five- 

 sixth costa to anal angle, containing two short fine longitudinal 

 black streaks above anal angle; second f^'om apex to middle 

 of termen, leaving one or two whitish teetk on termen ; a fine 

 fuscous line along upper half of temien ; cilia fuscous, on lower 

 half grey-whitish, separation distinct. Hindwings with ter- 

 men rounded, faintly sinuate beneath apex ; ochre ous-fus€OUS ; 

 cilia greyish, with a fuscous line near base. 



At first sight not unlike Carpocapsa pomonella. Lin. 



Cooktown, Queensland ; two specimens in June. 



SOROLOPHA, n. g. 



Thorax with a dense posterior crest, not bifid. Antenu-e 

 serrate, vei-y shortly ciliated. Palpi short recurved, oppressed 

 to face, terminal joint xevy short, nearly concealed. Abdomen 

 in male densely haired, and with a moderately erect tuft of 

 hairs on anterior segment, tibife in male broadly dilated, coxae 

 with an expansible tuft of hairs at base. Forewings and hind- 

 wings with neuration as in Teuinolnpha ; termen obliquely 

 rounded. 



Differs from Tentnolopha only by the crest on anterior seg- 

 ment of abdomen, different palpi, ciliations of antennae, which 

 are hardly perceptible, different crest of thorax and especially 

 by the large tuft of hairs on posterior legs. It at first consi- 

 dered these characters specific only, but it seems desirable on 

 reconsideration to form a new genus for the reception of the fol- 

 lowing species.
