GUESTIA ADELPHODES, Lower. 



(Eulccliria adtlphocU--<, Lower. Trans. Roy. Soc. S.A., p. 178. 

 1893.) 



The stalking of veins 2 and 3 of fore wings and other charac- 

 ters of (xue-'-itia agree so well with this species tliat I remove it 

 from Eultchria. 



Mr. G. Lyell has sent me specimens from Gisborne. Victoria, 

 taken in April. 



ARDOZYGA. n. g. 



Head smooth, side tufts moderate, loosely appressed. An- 

 tennae serrate, evenly ciliated, nearly 1, without pecten. Palpi 

 moderate, second iointi not reachin^^ base of antennae, anteriorlv

with appressed scales, terminal joint shorter than second. 

 Thorax smooth. Posterior tibiae with long tine hairs. Fore- 

 wine^s moderate, elongate, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 2 and 3 

 fused to a point at base, from lower angle of cell ; 3 and 4 

 sometimes connate. Hindv/ings nearly 1, 3 and 4 connate or 

 very short-stalked ; cilia two-thirds. 



This genus is fonned to receive the t;wo following species. 



It differs from Gue-siia, Meyr., by the absence of pecten and. 

 veins 2 and 3 not rising on a curved stalk. Prom Acompsla, 

 Hb., by the absence of pecten and fusing of veins 2 and 3 of 

 forewdngs. 



Ardozyga tetralychna, n. sp. 



Male, 16 mm. Head, palpi, thorax, and antennc^ dark fus-- 

 cous, palpi internally whitish, apex of joint ochreous. Fore- 

 wings elongate, moderate, costa gently arched, termen rather 

 strongly oblique ; dark fuscous, with some scattered darker fus- 

 cous dots, not forming: definite markings ; a small, well-defined 

 orange red basal spot ; a similar spot on inner margin just 

 beyond base ; a row of more or less connected suffused blackish 

 spots along termen and apical fourth of costa; cilia greyish, 

 with fuscous subbasal and subterminal lines. Hindwings light 

 fuscous-grey ; cilia grey-whitish, with two faint fuscous lineS: 

 Although an obscure-looking insect, it may be at once recog- 

 nised by the orange basal spots, which, though small, are con- 

 spicuous. 



Stawell, Victoria; two specimens, in November. I have 

 seen a specimen from Birchip, Victoria. 



Ardozyga thermoplaca, n. sp. 



Male, 16 mm. Head, thorax, antennae, abdomen, and legs- 

 dark fuscous, face somewhat ochreous, antennae without pecten, 

 ciliations 1, anal tuft ochreous, posterior legs mixed with.
