row line along" termen and apical fourth of costa ; cilia whitish 

 with a fuscous median line, becoming darker around apical 

 portion. Hind wings greyish-fuscous, cilia whitish, with a 

 fuscous median line. 



Not unlike some species of Nephogenes. 



Broken Hill, New South Wales ; one specimen in January. 



Saropla poliochra, n. sp. 



Male, 20-25 mm. Head and palpi very dull ochreous- 

 whitish, palpi fuscous externally. Thorax fuscous, patagia 

 cchreous-whitish. AntennEe and abdomen fuscous. Legs 

 fuscous, posterior pair whitish-ochreous, anterior and middle 

 tibice and tarsi ringed w^ith whitish. Forewings elongate, 

 moderate, somewhat dilated posteriorly, costa gently arched, 

 termen rounded, strongly oblique; dull greyish-ochreous- 

 whitish, more or less minutely irrorated with blackish scales, 

 w^iich sometimes tend to accumulate along veins ; a black 

 dot in disc at one-fourth, a second below and before on fold ; 

 a moderately large; curved black spot at end of cell ; a row 

 of praeterminal black spots, continued to apical fourth of 

 costa ; cilia greyish-ochreous. Hindwings greyish-fuscous ; 

 cilia grey. 



Closely allied to iDaratycla, Low., but differs by longer palpi, 

 different ground color of both forewings and hindwings and 

 absence of ochreous costal edge. Paracycla varies, but never 

 to the extent of considering the present species a variety of 

 it. 



Stawell, Victoria ; two specimens in March. 



C.ESYRA MACULOPA, U. Sp. 



Female, 15 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax white, thorax; 

 infuscated, antennae fuscous, white at base. Abdomen and 

 legs white. Forewings rather short, broad, costa gently 

 arched, termen oblique, faintly sinuate beneath apex ; gi^eyish- 

 fuscous. more or less mixed with white ; a moderately narrow 

 oblique fuscous transverse fascia, edged posteriorly by its own 

 width of white, from costa before middle to middle of inner- 

 margin, narrowest in middle ; a dark fuscous rounded spot- 

 like patch beneath apex, edged anteriorly by a whitish streak, 

 cilia whitish, becoming fuscous towards terminal portion.. 

 Hindwings light grey ; cilia grey. 



Not near any other species of the genus ; it may not be its 

 correct generic location, and the male may show additional 

 characters. It agrees, however, in the characters of Ccesyra. 



Halbury, South Australia ; one specimen in November.
