hindmargin ; cilia ochreous- whitish, with two broad suffused 

 grey lines. 



Not like any other species known to me. 



One male taken in bush near Parramatta, New South Wales, 

 in September. 



12. CKOCIDOSEMA, Z. 



Thorax smooth. Antennae in male somewhat thickened, not 

 ciliated. Palpi moderate, porrected, second joint somewhat 

 arched, roughly haired beneath and at apex above, terminal 

 joint nearly concealed. Posterior tibiae loosely scaled. Fore- 

 wings elongate, rather narrow, ccsta in male with short basal 

 fold, slightly arched, hindmargin sinuate, oblique. Hindwings 

 elongate-trapezoidal, broader than forewings ; in male with a 

 dense erect tuft of hairs on surface at base beneath lower median 

 vein. Forewings with veins 7 and 8 separate, 7 running to 

 hindmargin, secondary cell distinct. Hindwings with veins 3 

 and 4 stalked, 5 very closely approximated to 4 at base, 6 and 7 

 separate. 



Belongs to the group of Padisca and Grapkolitha, amongst 

 which it is distinguished by the conspicuous tuft of hairs on base 

 of hindwings in male. There is only one species in the genus, 

 which has been introduced from Europe, where however it seems 

 to have been but little noticed ; it was originally described by 

 Zeller from a single Sicilian specimen, and was subsequently 

 met with in Spain, and latterly also in other southern localities.
