AmSTEIS MACROTRICHA, 11. Sp. 



Male, 16 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, abdomen, 

 and legs dark fuscous, liead witli some oichreoiisi hairs, palpi 

 internally slightly ochreous tinged, posterior legs yellow. 

 Forewings elongate^, moderate, coeta moderately arched, ter- 

 men slightly rounded, oblique, 7 to termen; dark coppery 

 fuscous; a moderately broad oblique transverse ochreousp 

 fascia, from costa in middle tO' innermargin beyond middle, 

 sometimes absent; cilia deep coppery fuscous, terminal half 

 yellowish, except around anal angle. Hindwingp. yellow; a 

 fuscous apical patch, more or less continued along termen 

 throughout ; innermargin rather broadly fuscous ; cilia 

 fuscouSi. 



Distinct from the other described species. The occasional 

 absence of the odireous fascia of forewings is peculiar ; the 

 antennal ciliations are as in hepialelella, Walk., and are much 

 shorter on terminal third, reminding one of species of 

 Linosticha (especially dichroa, Low.), but the absence of pecteii 

 and different position of vein 7 of forewings are sufficient 

 characters to remove it from that gpnus. 



Stawell, Victoria; two specimens in October. I have on© 

 poor sp. taken at Tarraiwingee, near Broken Hill. 



OCYSTOLA PARALIA, n. Sp. 



Male, 14 mm. Head, palpi, and antennae white, palpi 

 fuscous externally, half of second, antennal ciliations 3|-. 

 Tlicrax grey, patagia white. Abdomen greyish- white. Legs 

 whitish, anterior pair mixed with fuscoiis, posterior ochreous- 

 tinged. Forewings elongate, moderate, costa gently arched, 

 apex tolerably pointed, termen oblique; white with fuscous 

 markings ; extreme costal edge fuscous on basal third ; and 

 slightly inwards curved narrow fascia from dorsum before 

 middle to slig;htly more than half across wing, becoming spot- 

 like at a]>ex, and obscure on dorsum ; a. spot on dorsum before 

 anal angle ; a spot at anal angle and another immediately 

 above and oblique before it, almost touching preceding spot; 

 cilia whitish ochreous. strongly mixed with fuscous on median 

 third. Hindwings with veins 3 and 4 from a point; shining 

 whitish ; cilia pale whitish-oichreous. 



Very near trilicclla, Meyr., but differs by the palpi, grey^ 

 not fuscous, thorax and antennal ciliations being shorter. 



Melbourne (Domain), Victoria; one specimen in October. 



ACOMPSIA MESOZONA, U. Sp. 



Female, 20 mm. Head and palpi whitish yellow. Thorax
