that genus ; the best points to depend on seem to be the propor- 

 tionally broader hind-wings, the somewhat loose, not glossy, 

 scaling of the head, and the apex of fore-wings not produced. 



Atal. atyphella, n. sp. 



? . 3f-". Head, palpi, and thorax white. Antennae fuscous 

 with whitish annulations, basal joint white. Abdomen greyish- 

 ochreous. Legs whitish-ochreous. Fore-wings white, with pale 

 ochreous markings irrorated with black scales ; a small ovate- 

 linear spot beneath costa slightly before middle ; a very oblique 

 streak from middle of costa, posteriorly suffused into an attenuated 

 cloud along costa nearly to apex ; a very oblique streak from 

 dorsal margin just beyond middle, almost interrupted on margin 

 itself ; apex faintly suffused with ochreous, with indications of a 

 linear apical spot of black scales ; cilia very pale whitish-ochreous 

 with a row of black points round apex. Hind- wings pale grey, 

 cilia whitish-grey. 



One specimen on a fence near Sydney in October. 



CROBYLOPHORA, n. g. 



Head roughly tufted on crown, face smooth ; no ocelli ; tongue 

 very short. Antennae shorter than fore-wings, filiform, with 

 moderate eyecap. No maxillary palpi. Labial palpi short, 

 drooping, filiform. Fore-wings elongate, narrow, pointed, apex 

 hardly produced. Hind-wings very narrowly lanceolate, of 

 fore-wings, cilia four or five times as broad. Abdomen moderate. 

 Legs slender, posterior tibiae stiff -haired. Fore-wings with seven 

 veins ; cell closed, 1 simple, 5 and 6 to costa. Hind-wings with- 

 out cell ; median obsoletely two-branched. 



This genus is intermediate between Stegommata and Bucculatrix, 

 resembling both in the roughly tufted head, and also having 

 considerable affinity with them in other respects ; it differs from 

 the former by the short antennae, and from the latter by the 

 presence of labial palpi. The species described are very elegant
