thirds, abruptly terminated before reaching middle, slightly 

 oblique, margined by two suffused brownish-ochreous lines mixed 

 with black on disc and continued to inner margin before anal 

 angle ; two short white strigulse on costa before apex, from 

 between which a suffused brownish-ochreous line runs to meet 

 that preceding it in middle of disc ; a brownish-ochreous line 

 along hindmargin, mixed with black : cilia whitish-grey or 

 whitish, above apex blackish-grey, beneath it barred indistinctly 

 with dark grey, sometimes suffused with brownish-grey. Hind- 

 wings grey, darker at apex ; cilia whitish-grey, with a dark grey 

 line near base. 



This is a neatly marked insect ; the short clear white streak 

 from the costa beyond middle is a noticeable characteristic. 



Mr. G. H. Raynor took this species commonly (but without 

 noticing the female) near Deloraine in Tasmania, in January ; 

 Walker's type is from the same island. 



14. ANATROPIA, n. g. 



Thorax strongly crested. Antennae in male biserrated, ciliated. 

 Palpi moderate, arched upwards, tolerably appressed to face, 

 second joint rough-scaled beneath. Forewings sub triangular, 

 costa in male simple, regularly arched, hiudmargin oblique. 

 Hindwings rounded-trapezoidal, broader than forewings. Fore- 

 wings with veins 7 and 8 stalked, vein 7 running to hindmargin. 

 Hindwings with veins 3 and 4 rising from a point, 5 approximated 

 to 4 at base, 6 and 7 stalked. 



This genus is nearly allied to the preceding Asthenoptyclia, from 

 which it only differs in the entire absence of the costal fold. From 

 the other allied genera it is removed by the upward-arched palpi, 

 the apex of which rises as high as the crown. 



The single representative has nearly the facies of Asth. Iwmi- 

 cryptana.
