course ; the four subcostal nervules rising out of it ; the upper 

 radial, which runs, as usual, straight between the hind margin 

 and the place where the discocellular should be, is then thick- 

 ened and becomes recurrent through the cell-space, curving 

 first downwards, so as nearly to touch the median at its point 

 of deflexion, then sharply upwards till it touches (or joins) 

 the subcostal, just before the bladdery hole. Hind wing like- 

 wise with cell open, but without any recurrent vein. The 

 submedian in the fore wing and the centre branch of the three 

 independent veins on the hind wing raised and thickened at 

 the base, beneath the brush of hairs. Female with ordinary 

 neuration and without the tufts of scales. 

 Type Spectrotrota fimbrialis } Warr. 



Spectrolrota fimbrialis, sp. n. 



Fore wing ashy grey, dusted with darker grey and reddish 

 fuscous ; first line scarcely visible, crossing the wing before 

 the cell-patch, and followed beneath it by a dull fulvous 

 patch, beneath which arises the lappet of the inner margin, 

 which is grey mixed with fulvous ; second line pale, inwardly 

 dark-edged, especially on the costa ; starting from the costa 

 just beyond the middle, running obliquely outward as far as 

 the middle, then forming rather a strong indentation inwards 

 above the inner margin ; this line is followed by a distinctly 

 darker, reddish-tinged, fuscous fascia, containing well-defined 

 dark streaks between the veins ; base of fringes preceded by 

 a row of largish wedge-shaped blackish marks ; fringes 

 pinkish grey, with an interrupted darker dividing-line. Hind 

 wing fuscous, paler, more ochreous towards base ; tuft of 

 scales yellowish ochreous. Head, thorax, and abdomen grey, 

 mottled with darker ; anal tuft ochreous ; underside, both of 

 wings and abdomen, and legs grey, mottled with darker ; 

 labial palpi darker ; antennas annulated black and white. 



Expanse of wings 16 millim. 



Several examples from Australia. 



MiMAGLOSSA, gen. nov. 



Fore wing elongate ; costa curved ; apex rounded ; hind 

 margin oblique, convex ; labial palpi upcurved in front of 

 face ; the terminal joint remarkably long, pointed. Male 

 without antennal processes; with a slight swelling, as in 

 Balanotis, Meyr., on the costal margin of the fore wing, at 

 two thirds ; male smaller than female. Scaling smooth and 

 glossy.
