whitish, tinged with reddish at apex and spotted with grey ; cilia 

 whitish with two grey lines. 



Not closely allied to any other species ; distinguished by its 

 peculiar tint and by the additional oblique fascia beyond middle ; 

 the female is still unknown to me. 



I have four males, taken in rocky bush near Sydney in 

 September, and in February and March. Walker's type is also 

 from Sydney ; it is very poor in condition, but recognisable, which 

 his description is not. 



4. Dich. fusciceps, Walk. 



( Conchylis fmcicepsana, Walk., Brit. Mus. Cat. 36 1 ; Conchylis 

 cepsana, ibid. 366 ; Conchylis mundalana, ibid. 368). 



$ . 4y / -5", ? . oV'-er. Head dark smoky-fuscous, face and

 in female rather narrow, costa moderately arched, hindmargin 

 obliquely rounded ; whitish-ochreous, with sharply defined dark 

 fuscous markings ; a narrow transverse slightly oblique streak 

 from inner margin near base, reaching half across wing ; a 

 slender oblique transverse fascia (in female somewhat broader) 

 from costa before middle to inner margin at two-thirds, its lower 

 extremity in male partially obsolete ; a wedge-shaped inwardly 

 oblique spot on costa before apex, larger in female and its 

 extremity connected with a streak from hindmargin below middle
