elongate, moderate, costa gently arched, apex pointed, hindmargin 
obliquely rounded; palpi whitish-yellow; cilia pale whitish- 
yellow ; at apex with a well-marked ferruginous patch. .Hind- 
wings grey; cilia ochreous-grey. 
One specimen at Blackwood, 8. Australia, in November. 
POGONIAS (?) HELIODORA, “2. sp. 
Female, 12 mm. Head, palpi, legs, and thorax light ochreous- 
yellow ; second joint of palpi with three narrow, black, apical 
rings ; terminal joint with some scattered black scales ; thorax 
with a large, suffused, blackish central blotch. Antenne 
yellowish, annulated with black, especially beyond middle. <Ab- 
domen orange, anal segment somewhat blackish, posterior legs 
with tarsal rings of blackish. Forewings elongate-linear, 
ochreous-yellow, or clay colour, with six tufts of blackish scales, 
arranged as follows: three in an oblique row from about one- 
third costa to above one-fourth inner-margin ; two much larger 
on inner margin (one at anal angle and one immediately before), 
and one small above last, but nearly on costa. All these spots 
appear anteriorly metallic when held in certain lights; the 
ground-colour is darker at one-third, and at and towards apex ; 
an obscure white spot on costa near apex; a narrow streak of 
whitish around apex ; cilia dark-fuscous. Hindwing elongate- 
lanceolate, dark-fuscous ; cilia dark-fuscous, at base lighter. 
A curious species. The tufts have a curious effect when held 
in different lights, appearing alternately colourless, iridescent, or 
black. 
I took a single specimen at Duaringa, Queensland, in Novem- 
ber, amongst grass. 
PoGow1As (!) TRISSODESMA, 7. sp. 
Female, 15 mm. Head white ; palpi black, second joint white, 
apex of terminal joint white. Thorax purplish-black. Antennz 
and legs purplish-black. Tibi and tarsi ringed with white. Ab- 
domen ochreous-whitish. | Forewings rather narrow, elongate- 
lanceolate, purplish-black ; three narrow, irregular, white fascia, 
first from one-fifth costa to fold, thence gently curved towards 
centre of wing, but not reaching it ; second from middle of costa 
to middle of inner-margin, dilated in middle, and finely narrowed 
on lower half; third from five-sixths costa to just before anal 
angle, broadest on costa, and dot-like above anal angle ; a minute 
white dot beyond second fascia, and two similar, one above the 
other, beyond first fascia ; cilia light-greyish at apex, dark-fuscous 
on basal half. Hindwings and cilia fuscous. 
A beautiful species, recalling a Macrobathra in general ap- 
pearance. The second joint of palpi is somewhat tufted.
