Differs from 2^ostica, Zell., by its smaller size, different ar- 

 rangement of markings and abdomen. 



Arltunga, Central South Australia; one specimen in Xo- 

 vember. 



PSECADIA SCIAPTERA, n. Sp. 



Male, 22 mm. Head, face, and thorax white, collar black. 

 Palpi blackish, internally whitish. Abdomen fuscous. Legs 

 black, banded with white. Forewings elongate, moderate, 

 costa gently arched, termen oblique, 7 to apex; snow-white, 

 mth black markings ; a spot on costa near base ; an outward 

 curv^ed series of three dots, from costa at one-fifth to dorsum 

 at one-fifth; a short oblique mark on costa before middle, 

 generally connected with spot at its extremity ; a spot above 

 dorsum before middle ; a larger spot in disc at two-thirds ; 

 a somewhat triangular spot on costa at five-sixths, containing 

 a spot of groimd color in middle ; a rather broad band along 

 termen, mth several spots of ground color on lower half, and 

 with a curved tooth in middle, the extremity of which nearly 

 touches the triangular costal spot; 2 or 3 black spots on 

 apical fifth of costa; cilia white, basal half black. Hind- 

 wings white, apical two-fifths dark fuscous, darkest along ter- 

 men; cilia as in forewings. 



Differs from the other described species by the band along 

 termen, besides other details. 



Mackay, Queensland; one specimen in October. 



EUDRYMOPSIS, n. g. 



Head and thorax smooth. Antennae in male ( ?), with small 

 pecten. Palpi moderate, recurved, second joint tolerably 

 smooth, not reaching base of antennae, terminal joint shorter 

 than second, acute. Forewings elongate ; 2 and 3 stalked 

 irom angle ; 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to apex or just below it. Hind- 

 wings with 3 and 4 connate; 5, 6, and 7 parallel, 8 free. 



In the neighborhood of Guestia, but differs in neuration. 

 I really think it should be placed next to the Gelechiadce, as 

 it recalls sp. of that group, but vein 8 of hindwing is free.
