obscure scales from berieatli costa to inner margin at anal 

 angle; cilia ochreous, flesh colored at base. Hind wings 

 greyish-ochre ous, fuscous tinged around apex ; cilia ochreousr- 

 fuscous, with an ochreous basal line. 



Allied to carnea, Z., to which it is very similar in appear- 

 ance, but the absence of dots along termen, white legs, and 

 longer antennal ciliations are distinctive. 



Duaringa, Queensland ; one specimen in December. 



Trachyntis argocentra, n. sp. 



Male and female, 22-25 mm. Head and palpi fuscous- 

 whitish, second joint of palpi dai'k fuscous on basal half, espe- 

 cially internally. Thorax and antennse fuscous. Abdomen 

 greyish, faintly suffused with ferruginous. Legs fuscous, pos- 

 terior pair greyish. Fore wings elongate, moderate, costa 

 gently arched, termen obliouely rounded; fuscous, sparsely 

 mixed with greyish ; an elongate streak of dull whitish in cell, 

 sometimes absent, with spot of fuscous at extremities; a 

 row of more or less connected fuscous spots along termen and 

 apical foiu'th of costa ; cilia fuscous. Hindwings greyish- 

 fuscous ; cilia greyish-fuscous, faintly ochreous tinged at base. 



Broken Hill, New South Wales ; three specimens in April. 



GOMPHOSCOPA, n. g. 



Head rather loosely haired. Antenuce in male bidentate, 

 especially on terminal half, ciliations (1), uasal joint short, 

 without pecten. Labial palpi extremely long, second joint 

 consicierably exceeding base of anteniice, clothed with ap- 

 pressed scales, somewhat loose beneath, terminal joint slender, 

 one-half of second reciu-ved. Forewings elongate ; 7 and 8 

 stalked, 7 to apex, 2 from before angle of cell, 3 from angle, 

 1 furcate at base. Hindwings over 1, elongate-ovate ; cilia 

 one-third ; 3 and 4 connate, 5 widely remote from 4, nearer 

 to 6. 



Not very near any other genus known to me. The absence 

 of pecten, extremely long palpi, tennination of vein 7 in apex, 

 and elongate markings would appear to have some relationship 

 to CEnochroa, Meyr., yet the affinity is not cleiar. 



The genus is formed for the reception of Fachycera cat- 

 oryctopsis, Lower (Trans. Roy. Soc. S.A., 184 (1893). The 

 genus was rot defined at the time of writing, and as the narne, 

 Pachycera, is probably preoccupied, I adopt the above in place 

 of it. 



LiNOSTICHA EUADELPHA, U. Sp. 



Male, 14 mm. Head, palpi, and antennae reddish-fuscous; 

 second joint of palpi rather thinly scaled. Thorax dark fus- 

 -cous, pa.tagia reddish-fuscoiiSi. Abdomen greyish. Legs fus-
