OF NEW SOUTH WALES. 209 



Conspicuously different from vulgatella by the two longitudinal 

 ochreous-white streaks, and absence of discal dots. 1 <$ from 

 Melbourne. 



LASIOCERA n, g. 



Forehead with a short hardly projecting cone of scales. Ocelli 

 present. Tongue short, scaled at base. Antennas simple, in <$ 

 thickened, densely clothed on basal half with thick scales. Labial 

 palpi moderate, obliquely ascending, terminal joint short. Maxil- 

 lary palpi short, filiform. Porewings rather short, dilated ; hind- 

 wings moderate, slightly indented beneath apex. Legs rather 

 short. Abdomen stout. 



Characterised by the peculiar thickly-scaled antennas of . I 

 have not yet been able to examine the venation. 



Las. canilinea n. sp. 



7" 8". Head, palpi, and thorax black ; labial palpi white be- 

 neath towards base Antennae in <$ black on basal half and at 

 apex, whitish between, in ? entirely blackish. Abdomen black, 

 with ochreous-yellow rings on posterior margin of segments ; 

 anal tuft ochreous-yellow. Legs blackish, tarsi with slender 

 whitish rings at apex of joints, posterior tibiae ochreous-whitish 

 except at apex. Forewings short, moderately broad, dilated, 

 hindmargin somewhat oblique, slightly rounded ; blackish, very 

 thinly sprinkled with whitish on disc ; first line white, nearly 

 straight, oblique, at about one-third ; second line white, from a 

 small triangular white spot on costa at three-quarters to a little 

 before anal angle, middle third broadly curved or obtusely angu- 

 lated outwards ; cilia blackish. Hind wings bright deep yellow, 

 hindmargin broadly and costa narrowly blackish-fuscous ; cilia 

 smoky-blackish, with indistinct darker black parting-line near 

 base. 



This species has considerable superficial resemblance to Neph- 

 opteryx opimella; apart from the structural distinctions, it may 

 be generally known by its clear blackish colour, and rather sharp 

 white lines. Several specimens from Goulburn and Parramatta. 

 CEROPEEPES Z. 



Forehead obtuse. Ocelli present. Antennae setaceous, in < 

 with a small tubercle above basal joint, strongly pectinated on
