Eastern and Australian Moths. 23 
Genus STENOPALTIS, nov. 
Fore wing elongate, narrow ; costa nearly straight; apex 
acute, outer margin oblique, sinuate, curving continuously 
into the hinder margin, without forming any distinct angle ;: 
hind wings very narrow; abdominal margin short, outer 
margin almost straight; palpi three times as long as the 
head, porrect, laterally flattened, densely clothed above and 
below, terminal joint short and pointed ; antenna very slender 
and segmented, in the female perfectly filiform, in the male 
finely ciliated ; forehead with a slight cone of hairs; tongue 
and frenulum present ; hind tibia with four spurs. 
Fore wing with the cell about half the length of the wing; 
vein 2 from two thirds, 3 a little before end of cell, 5 close 
above 4, 6 from below upper angle, 7 from the angle, 8, 9, 
and 10 stalked, 11 free: hind wing with 3 and 4, and 6 and 7 
stalked, 5 from just below middle of discocellular. 
Stenopaltis lithina, nov. 
6 2. White, irrorated with grey; a brown spot at the end 
of each cell: fore wings with the costal border rather broadly 
speckled with grey, and some brown and white spots on costal 
edge; -both wings crossed by antemedial, medial, and discal 
duplex brown thin bands, the antemedial band almost obsolete 
on the hind wings; the veins on fore wings outside the discal 
band broadly brown; both wings with a brown marginal 
line and brown points; cilia white, with a brown basal band ;

EXxpanse of wings 3p inch. 
Coomoo, Queensland. 
Superficially much resembles another Australian species, 
Areopterum canescens, Walker, which has, however, short 
upright palpi. 
Moscha variabilis, nov. 
g@. Very variable in colour, in some examples dark ochreous 
brown, and to pale ochreous pink there are many gradations; 
in some the palpi are brown, in others pink; the head and 
thorax in two examples are white, but all have exactly the 
same markings: fore wings with a subbasal black dot and 
two at the end of cell—an antemedial, outwardly curved, 
sinuous brown line, a medial straight line, angled behind the 
two dots acutely inwards to the costa ; between these two lines 
in one example the space is pure white ; an angled and sinuous 
discal line, outwardly curved; an indistinct submarginal line
