-^ broad streak immediately beneath costa, attenuated 

 posteriorly; a similar streak beneath fii^t, only separated by 

 a fine line of ground color, from one-third to termen, finely 

 -attenuated anteriorly, broadly dilated posteriorly and con- 

 tinued ag fine streaks along veins to termen; a broa4 longi- 

 tudinal strea^k in middle, becoming trifurcate posteriorly, first 

 iurcation emitted from lower edge in middle and continued 

 along fold to termen ; second similar at two-thirds ; third on 

 upper edge, both to termen ; a fine line above innermargin 

 throughout, connected at base with median streak; cilia 

 iuscous, with whitish streaks at extremities of veins. Hind- 

 wings with termen faintly sinuate in middle-; pale ochreoiis- 

 whitish ; a fuscous band along upper half of termen, more 

 pronounced beneath ; a moderately long pencil of ochreous 

 hairs beneath, rising at base ; cilia ochreous-whitish. 

 Hobart, Tasmania ; one specimen in November. 



Gastrinopa, n. g. 



Face rounded, somewhat' prominent. Palpi moderate, 

 densely scaled, terminal joint short. Antennse of male 

 bipectinated nearly to apex, apex simple. Thorax without 

 crests (?), densely hairy beneath. Abdomen Simooth. Femora 

 glabrous, posterior tibiae of male strongly dilated, containing 

 pencil of hairs. Forewings without fovea; 12 free; 10 and 

 11 rising separate, thence anastomising on median third, 

 thence separating; 10 slightly connected with; 9. Hindwings 

 normal. 



Differs from Gastrina, Gn., to which the species has remark- 

 able superficial resemblance by the neuration and abdomen. 

 Tlie thorax is somewhat denuded, consequently I am unable 

 t'O decide if the crest is present or not. 



Type xylistis, Low. 



Gastrinopa xylistis, n. sp. 

 Male and female, 36-38 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, 

 and abdomen dark ferruginous-fuscous. Antennal pectina- 

 tions of male about 2|. Legs grey-whitish, thickly irrorated 

 ■with ferruginous-fuscous. Forewings elongate, triangular, 

 termen waved, rounded ; ferruginous-fuscous, finely strigulated 

 with transverse blackish markings ; markings black ; a. gently 

 cur\ed line from one-third costa to one-third innermargin, 

 faintly angulated above innermargin; a gently waved line 

 from costa before three-fourths to innermargin at two-thirds, 

 moderately curved inwards on lower half ; ground color 

 between first and second limes more blackish ; an indistinct
