Mr. A. G. Butler on Melbourne Lepidoptera. 101 



cell ; one radial vein ; median emitting its three branches near 

 together at the end of the cell ; submedian normal ; fringe 

 rather short : secondaries triangular, witli very long costal 

 margin, short abdominal margin, and veiy oblique outer 

 margin ; frenum simple, rather long ; costal vein extending 

 nearly to apex ; discoidal cell long and narrow ; subcostal 

 emitting its first branch close to the end of the cell, and its 

 second from the superior angle; on the right-hand side in the 

 type the radial is emitted from the second subcostal branch, 

 but on the left side it springs from the discocellulars in the 

 usual manner ; median three-branched, the last two branches 

 emitted from the same point at the inferior angle of the cell : 

 thorax robust, smooth. Head smooth, about half the width of 

 the thorax ; palpi slender, falciform, erect, projecting for half 

 their length above the front of the head ; antennre three fourths 

 the length of the primaries, with long and cylindrical basal 

 joint, pectinated or, more strictly speaking, setose on both 

 sides (the bristles being directed towards the apex) from the 

 base to the extremity, and slightly tapering. Anterior tibise 

 setose or sparsely fringed. 



80. Cryptojyeges fidvia, sp. n. (279). 



Primaries above purplish brown ; secondaries orange-ochre- 

 ous, with black-brown external border and abdominal fringe ; 

 body above bronzy blackish, antennas bronze-brown ; palpi 

 whity brown ; abdomen and most of the legs wanting. Prima- 

 ries below greyish brown, the interno-basal area broadly 

 ochreous ; secondaries golden ochreous, with grey-brown ex- 

 ternal border; pectus shining plumbaginous grey ; legs pearl- 

 grey below, brown above and banded with blackish. Ex- 

 panse of wings 16 millini. 



One damaged specimen. 



Latometus, gen, nov. 



Wings long, narrow, acuminate, with rather long fringes : 

 primaries below deeply grooved below the base of the costal 

 border ; costal vein short, terminating before the middle of the 

 margin ; remaining veins arranged nearly as in the preceding 

 genus : secondaries ovoid, forming an obtuse point at apex ; 

 first subcostal branch emitted at some distance before the end 

 of the cell ; other veins almost as in the preceding genus. 

 Thorax very robust, smooth. Head about half the width of the 

 thorax, rather roughly covered with short hair-scales ; palpi 

 long, ensiform, tapering, projecting for about twice its length 

 beyond the front of the head ; autcnuaj extending to about
