lower fork of vein 1 hardly obsoete towards ba&e. Hind- 

 wmgs with 3 and 4 connate, 5 absent, coincident with 4. 



Allied to Macrohathra, Meyr., but differs by neuration o-f 

 hindwings. The absence of vein 5 is unusual in the (l^covhfj- 

 ridce ; but Mr. Meyrick, to whom a specimen was submitted, 

 placed it in this family. 



MiMODOXA DRYINA, n. Sp. 



Male, 9-10 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax fuscous-whitisa, 

 second joint palpi internally blackish, and with an obscure 

 whitish apical ring. Antennae fuscous, irregularly annulated 

 with white, basal joint black, with an obscure whitish ring at 

 apex. Abdomen greyish, strongly margined with fuscous. 

 Legs whitish, irregularly banded with fuscous, posterior pair 

 greyish-ochreous. Fore wings elongate-lanceolate ; fuscous- 



whitish ; becoming darker at base ; markings black ; a narrow 

 strongly oblique fascia from costa near base^ to inner margin 

 at one-sixth ; a second similar fascia, more obscure, from one- 

 third of costa to inner margin in middle, hardly reaching 

 inner margin; a third, thicker and irregular from five-sixths 

 costa to anal angle, broadest on costa; a more or less well-de- 

 fined narrow longitudinal median streak from base to apex, 

 suffused at apex; cilia, dark fuscous, mixed with whitish. 

 Hindwings lanceolate, thinly scaled ; ptal© grey ; fusicous to- 

 wards apex; cilia ochreous-grey. 



Broken Hill, New South Walesi; three specimens in 

 October. 



EUCRYPTOGONA, n. g. 



Head somewhat rough haired. Antennae serrate, with 



tufts of long ciliations at joints, about 5, without pecten, or 

 with one or two fugitive hair scales. Palpi porrect, terminal 

 joint concealed, second dilated towards apex, clothed with 

 long rough hairs above and beneath. Posterior tibiae with 

 long fine hairs. Forewings elongate, moderate, termen ob- 

 lique ; all veins separate, secondary cell distinct, 1 fui'cate 

 at base, 2 from before angle, 6 and 7 remote at base, 7 to ter- 

 men. Hindwings as broad as forewings, termen obliquely 

 round ; 3 and 4 widely remote at base, 5 and 6 parallel to 4, 

 6 to termen. 



A very singular genus, which, I think, should be referred *o 

 the PlutellidcE, as the separation of all veins when present 

 is a character which does not occur in the (Ecoijlioriaoe. The 

 long ciliations of antennae and haired tibiae of hindlegs are 

 characters which are discordant in the former family, yet the 

 curious palpi would appear to indicate some relationship to 

 the latter family, especially in the genus Pleurota. Hb.
