obliquely below and beyond ; and a third at posterior end of 

 cell, connected with first by a white streak ; indications of a 

 fourth below third ; cilia cinereous-grey, terminal half grey. 

 Hindwings light fuscous ; 3 and 4 from a point ; 6 and 7 from 

 a point, hardly short stalked ; cilia whitish grey in female, 

 darker in male, both sexes with fuscous subbasal line. 



Not very near any other described species, but probably 

 nearest monocalama, Meyr. It has a striking resemblance to 

 Hypertriclia eijhelota, Meyr., but the ipalpi and presence of 

 vein 8 of forewings are distinct. 



Melbourne, Victoria; two specimens in March. 



Procometis periscia, n. sp. 



Male, 16 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, and legs ashy- 

 igrey-whitish, palpi infuscated on second joint externally, 

 thorax with 2 or 3 obscure whitish longitudinal streaks, 

 patagia whitis^h. Forewings elongate, moderate, costa gently 

 arched, termen obliquely rounded ; 7 to slightly above apex ; 

 dark fuscous, more or less minutely irrorated with fine whitish 

 scales ; a fine white line along fold, from base to anal angle ; 

 a fine white line in middle of wing, from near base to near 

 base to near three-fourths, attenuated anteriorly and edged 

 above with a fine black line ; veins towards termen more or 

 less outlined with blackish ; cilia ashy-grey-fuscous. Hind- 

 -wings with veins 3 and 4 from a point ; G and 7 short stalked ;

Melbourne, Victoria; one specimen in March. 



Macrozygona, n. g. 



Head smooth, antennae moderate, in male filiform, simple, 

 ^basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, 

 cui*ved, ascending, terminal joint nearly as long as second. 

 'Thorax smooth, abdomen moderate. Posterior tibiae rough 

 haired above. Forewings with vein 2 from four-fifths, 3 

 from angle, 7 absent, coincident with 8. Hindwings with 

 hairs of costa moderately developed beneath ; 3 and 4 very 

 short stalked; 6 and 7 stalked. 



A connecting link between Pliylomyctis and Hyptrtricha^ 

 but most allied to the former, from which it differs by the 

 palpi of male, and stalking of veins 6 and 7 of forewings. 



Macrozygona microtoma, n. sp. 



Male, 16 mm. Head whitish, faoe white. Palpi, antennae, 



and thorax ochreous fuscous, palpi white on lower two-thirds 



of second joint externally. Antennae whitish on basal ono- 



.third. Legs white, fuscous above. Abdomen greyish-
