and the character on which it is based, the stalking of vein 10 

 of the forewings, is not I think even of generic value. This 

 vein is usually closely oppressed to 8 + 9, and may arise sepa- 

 rately, or be partly fused with the latter in closely allied 

 species, and sometimes both kinds of structure may be found 

 in different individuals of the same species. 



Genus Elachypteryx, nov. 

 (Elachwpterux, tiny-winged.) 



Frons rounded. Tongue present. Palpi upturned, slen- 

 der, not reaching vertex; terminal joint slender, acute. Max- 

 illary palpi very short, filiform. Antennae of S ciliated, 

 with angular projections at joints. Posterior tibial spurs 

 long and nearly equal. Forewings with 4 and 5 coincident, 

 S, 9, 10 stalked, 11 absent. Hindwings with 5 absent. 



The neuration is difficult to make out on the type speci- 

 men, but I think this will be found correct. 



Elachypteryx erebenna, n. sp. 

 (ErebeTinos, dark, gloomy.) 



(S , 9 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, and abdomen 

 fuscous. Legs fuscous, tarsi and inferior surface whitish. 

 Forewings elongate-triangular, costa gently arched, apex 

 rounded, termen strongly indented at J and again near tornus ; 

 fuscous mixed with whitish ; cilia fuscous, on apex and in- 

 dentations whitish. Plindwings with termen strongly in- 

 dented beneath apex ; fuscous mixed with whitish ; a terminal 

 series of four black spots edged with silvery scales; cilia fus- 

 cous, apices whitish. 



Type in Coll. Turner. 



Q., Brisbane, in May; one specimen. 



Genus Nannomorpha, nov. 

 (Nannomorph os, dwarfish.) 

 Face flat. Tongue obsolete. Palpi moderate, ascend- 

 ing; second joint tufted anteriorly; terminal joint moderate, 

 with loose projecting scales. Maxilliary palpi strongly dilated 

 with scales at apex. Antennae with triangular thickenings at 

 joints towards apex. [Legs broken.] Forewings with veins 

 4 and 5 stalked, 6 absent, 10 separate. Hindwings normal. 



Allied to Nymphula, differing in the absence of tongue 

 and neuration of forewings. 



Nannomorpha alychnopa, n. sp. 



(Aluichnopos, without brilliance, dull.) 



O, 11 mm. Head, palpi, thorax, and abdomen fuscous 



with some whitish scales. Antennae ochreous-whitish with 



blackish annulations. Anterior legs ochreous-whitish suf-
