margin, an irregular spot on innermargin at one-fourth, reach- 

 ing one-third across wing ; an outwardly oblique fascia from 

 about one-third costa to four-fifths innermargin, dilated on lower 

 and with a sinuation above middle ; a irregular fascia from 

 three-fourths costa to( anal angle, tolera.bly well definedon upper 

 half, more or less broken into spots on lower half ; disc between 

 fascias finely strigulated on upper half; a moderate patch of 

 strigulae at apex, inore or less reaching anal angle and joining 

 second fascia ; cilia pale ochreous. Hindwings thinly scaled ; 

 pale fuscous; cilia fuscous. 



One specimen from Hobart, Tasmania in September. 



Not unlike the following, but differs by the ochreous ground 

 color of forewings. 



Xysmatodoma microzona, n. sp. 



Male, 16 mm. Head ochreous, palpi, and antenn?e fuscous. 

 Thorax dark fuscous, with a whitish anterior Sjpot. Abdomen 

 and legs fuscous, posterior legs greyish-ochreous. Forewings 

 elongate, moderate, costa gently arched, termen obliquely 

 rounded ; 7 absent ; white, with blackish markings, and irre- 

 gularly eitrewn with small blackish slpots, hardly forming 

 strigulse ; costa spotted with blackish, one just before a,nd one 

 beyond middle larger, first followed beneath by a similar one ; 

 a short thick, hardly oblique streak from costa before three- 

 fourths, reaching nearly half across wing ; a narrow somewhat 

 interrupted transverse fascia, from costa before apex to anal 

 angle, most distinct on margin ; a suffused spot on innermargin 

 in middle, and indications of a second at one-third ; cilia 

 whitish. Hindwings pale fuscous ; cilia fuscous-whitish. 



Semaphore, South Australia ; one specimen in December. 



Somewhat allied to cataiDhracta, Meyr., but the absence of 

 complete fasciae and ochreous head separate it from that species. 



Xysmatodoma hemicalyptra, n. sp. 



Male, 16 mm. Head,pal(pi, antennae, thorax, abdomen, and 

 lega dark fuscous, antennal ciliations over 1 ; posterior legs 

 ochreous, abdomen beneath yellowish. Forewings elongate, mode- 

 rate, costa gently arched, termen very obliquely rounded ; 7 ab- 

 sent; dark fuscous, obscurely spotted and strigulated with 

 darker ; spots towards apical portion of wings more clearly de- 

 fined ; a row of dark fuscous spots along termen and apical 

 portion of wing ; cilia dark fuscous. Hindwings pale yellowish, 

 with suffused blackish band along termen, broadest at apex; 

 base of wing and innermargin fuscous; cilia as in forewings. 



Hoyleton, South Australia; one specimen in September. 



Not very near any other species known to me.
