moderate, apex acute ; yellowish-white ; short oblique fuscous streaks from costa 

 at 3 and middle directed outwards; a similar streak from dorsum before tornus ; 

 cilia whitish with four fine fuscous streaks on costal portion, first two outwardly 

 oblique, last two more transverse, and a short dorsal streak near apex. Hind- 

 wings linear-lanceolate ; whitish ; cilia over 12, whitish. 



Distinguished by the yellow-tinged forcwings without longitudinal streaks 

 and apical dot. 



Queensland : Brisbane, in August, one specimen. 



Crobylophora psammosticta, n. sp.

 scales ; a median basal spot, nearly confluent with a larger spot on fold ; a 

 third spot touching fold and middorsum, its long axis inwardly-oblique ; two 

 outwardly-oblique streaks from costa at -3- and §; a subapical costal dot; a

Leucoptera argodes, n. sp. 



apywSr}'^, white. 



6 , 6-8 mm. Head and thorax white ; crown smooth. Antennae whitish or 

 pale grey ; basal joint white. Abdomen pale grey or grey-whitish. Legs white. 

 Forewings shining white ; sometimes two fine outwardly-oblique lines from costa 

 at ;J and shortly before apex extending half across disc, but these may be very 

 faint ; a raised silvery spot at tornus, preceded and followed by a fuscous dot ; 

 cilia white, sometimes with a fine fviscous median line opposite apex. Hind- 

 wings narrow-lanceolate ; white ; cilia white. 



Very similar to L. daricella, Meyr., which I refer to the same genus ; it 

 may be distinguished by the first costal line being far beyond middle, and by the 

 smooth crown.
