white, more or less spotted with fuscous, aiTanged in oblique 

 transverse series; markings fuscous; costa and innermargin 

 strigulated throughout; an outwardly oblique narrow fascia., 

 from one^third costa reaching half across wing; an irregular 

 rather flattened quadrat© spot on middle of costa, and another 

 similar, but smaller between this and apex, interspaces slightly 

 ochreous^tinged on costa ; a row of small spots along termen ; 

 a parallel series of spots, starting from last costal spot and 

 terminating on innermargin at two-thirds; cilia, ochreous- 

 grey, tips darker. Hindwings fuscous; cilia as in forewings, 

 but with a dull fuscous basial line. 



Apparently nearest jprotorna, Mej^r., but differs especially 

 by the yellow head and different shape of forewings. 



Melbourne, Victoria.; one specimen in October. 



Narycia (Xysmatodoma) semiota, n. sp. 



Male, 16 mm. Head, ipalpi, antennae, thorax, legs, and 

 abdomen dark fuscous, antennal ciliations 2, posterior legs 

 ochreous fuscous, anal tuft yellowish. Foremngs elongate 

 moderate, costa gently arched, termen obliquely rounded; 7 

 and 8 long stalked, 7 to below apex ; dark fuscous, finely reti- 

 culated throufrho'ut with blackish, the absence of which causes 

 a moderately broad short inwardly oblique, obscure, fascia, 

 from innermargin before middle to tw^o-thirds across vnng ; 

 costa VN^ith three or four obscure ochreous dots along posterior 

 half ; cilia greyish fuscous, basal half dark fuscous, mixed with 

 blackish. Hindwings fuscous, rather thinly scaled ; cilia fus- 

 cous, darker at base. 



Nearest lasiocola, Meyr., differs in more sombre coloring. 



Melbourne, Victoria ; one specimen in May. 



Narycia (Xysmatodoma) hy^alistis, n. sp. 



Male, 20 mm. Head, thorax, antennae and legs fuscous, 

 antennal ciliations 1, po^ericr legs greyish. Abdomen 

 greyish. Forewings elongate, moderately dilated posteriorly, 

 costa gently arched, termen obliquely rounded; 7 and 8 

 stalked, 7 to teraien; very pale grey-whitish, irregularly 

 strigulated throughout with fuscous, thickest on margins; a 

 faint fuscous spot aibove middle at two-thirds; cilia greyish 

 fuscous. Hindwings with 4 and 5 short stalked ; very pale 

 grey, thinly scaled, almos4^ transparent ; cilia greyish. 



An obscure species, devoid of any special characteristic, ex- 

 cepting perhaps the dilated foremngs and rather clear hind- 

 wings.
