Female, 24 mm. Head and thorax snow-white (palpi 

 broken). Antennae fuscous. Legs whitish. Abdomen 



greyish, beneath whitish, segmental margins, narrowly dull 

 orange. Forewings elongate, moderate, costa gently arched, 

 apex round pointed, termen sinuate beneath apex, hardly 

 rounded; 2 from two-thirds, 7 to apex; dark fuscous, suf- 

 fusedly mixed with whitish and black scales; a broad white 

 costal streak from base to apex, attenuated at extremities and 

 broadly interinipted by gi'oundj color at two-thirds ; a somewhat 

 dot-like fuscous streak, from posterior extremity of ground 

 color interrupted along costa to apex and continued aa a 

 fine line along termen to anal angle ; veins towards termen 

 outlined in black and edged with whitish ; a suffused ferru- 

 ginous spot on fold at one-third, edged posteriorly by a similar- 

 sized white spot; a similar white spot beyond extremity of 

 cell ; cilia whitish, light fuscous on basal half, and with a very

Neai'est uiidulatella, Walk. 



Baimsdale, Victoria ; one specimen, in January. 



Xylorycta tetrazona, n. sp. 



Female, 30 mm. Head and palpi orange-yellow. Antennae 

 fuscous, basal joint yellow. Thorax white, with a moderately 

 broad anterior fuscous band, and a fuscous posterior spot.

 broad neai'ly equidistant fasciae, first near base, narrowest in 

 middle ; second, somewhat curved inwardly from middle of. 

 costti. to inner margin; third from costa at five-sixths to just 

 before anal angle; nearly straight; fourth along termen; 

 between the third and fourth are 2 fuscous spots on costa; art 

 irregular suffused streak on inner margin between second and 

 third fasciae ; cilia whitish (imperfect). Hind wings with ter- 

 men rounded, sinuate beneath apex, apex faintly produced; 

 orange-yellow, becoming broadly fuscous from apex to beyond' 

 middle of termen, finely attenuated posteriorly; cilia orange- 

 yollow.

 there are but three), and the yellow hind wings.
