oi forewings and absence of pecten are reliable points of dis- 

 tinction. The genus (Ecopliora, Latr., as now restricted by 

 Mr. Meyrick in his "Handbook of British Lepidoptera," pos- 

 sesses the characters of this species, i.e., absence of antennal 

 pecten, vein 7 to costa, 2 and 3 separate. Hindwings with 

 3 and connate or stalked. 



Blackwood and Parkside. South Australia; two specimens 

 in August. 



GUESTIA ACTINIPHA, U. Sp. 



Female, 22 mm. Head, palpi, thorax, and antennae 



whitish, faintly fuscous tinged, second joint of palpi beneath 

 light fuscous, except apex, anteunje with moderate pecten. 

 Abdomen grey-whitish. Legs white, posterior pair ochreous 

 tinged. Forewings elongate, moderate, costa moderately 

 arched, termen obliquely rounded ; light cinerou&-grey ; costal 

 edge narrowly whitish from one-third to apex ; a moderately 

 broad longitudinal white streak lying in middle of cell ; cell 

 outlined more or less with fuscous on lower edge, and con- 

 tinued to posterior extremity, where it is spot-like and more 

 sharply defined ; a suffused fuscous spot in disc above middle 

 at one-third ; a similar but more suffused spot just below and 

 beyond, almost resting on, and indicating commencement of 

 line along cell; a somewhat suffused elongate whitish streak 

 above middle, between posterior extremity of cell and ter- 

 men; a suffused fuscousi line along teimen; cilia 

 gTey- whitish. Hind wings grey ; cilia light ochreou^grey. 



The white longitudinal streak and different ground color 

 easily separate this from the other described species. 



Broken Hill, New South Wales ; one specimen in May. 



GUESTIA PELADELPHA, LoWCr. 



I have a specimen of this insect, taken at Roeburne, Western 

 Australia, in which vein 6 of the forewings is long-stalked, in 

 addition to the usual neuration. It is a cimous deformity, 

 occuiTing in one wing only. 



Pauronota, n. g. 

 Head moderately smooth. Antennse in male moderately 

 ciliated (1), basal joint moderate, with pecten. Labial palpi 

 short, recurved, second joint not reaching base of antennae, 

 with appressed scales, somewhat loose beneath, terminal one- 

 half of second, acute. Thorax smooth. Posterior tibise 

 clothed with long hairs above. Forewings with vein 

 ] furcate, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 2 and 3 rising on a curved 

 stalk out of 4 near origin. Hindwings ovate-lanceolate, cilia 

 1 ; 3 and 4 connate, 6 and 7 parallel.
