joint dark fuscous. Antennae dark grey, towards base whitish; 

 ciliations in male minute. Thorax brownish-grey. Abdomen 

 grey, mixed with whitish ; paired fuscous dots on dorsum of 

 each segment. Liegs fuscous; posterior pair except tarsi 

 whitish on dorsum. Forewings triangular, costa slightly 

 arched, apex round-pointed, termen bowed, moderately 

 oblique ; grey- whitish with numerous, fine, curved, brownish- 

 grey, transverse lines and suffusion; a dark-fuscous discal dot 

 beneath f costa ; a slightly darker slender fascia from | costa 

 to mid-dorsum, edged with wavy darker lines; an interrupted 

 fuscous terminal line; cilia brownish-grey, apices paler. Hind- 

 wings with termen rounded, slightly wavy, and slightly angled 

 on vein 4; as forewings but without discal dot. Underside 

 grey, with obscurely darker discal dots on both wings, two 

 obscure lines on forewing and three on hind wing towards 

 termen , 



Very near F. xylocynia. The best point of distinction 

 in the female appears to be in the terminal line, which does 

 not consist of paired dark-fuscons dots. The male has no 

 recurved hairs on tornus of hindwings. 



New South Wales: Mount Kosciusko (5,500-6,000 ft.) 

 in January, two male specimens; Wentworth Falls, near 

 Katoomba, in April, one female in Coll. Lyell. 



Gen. MiNOA, Treit. 



Type M. murinafa, Scop., from Europe. This genus 

 comes very close to Astherw, Hb., type .4. candidafa, Schif., 

 which differs in having 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 stalked from areole. 

 The stalking of 11 is unusual in the family and appears to be 

 a good generic character. Only one Australian species, J/. 

 euthecta. Turn., has been recognized. 



Gen. Antimimistis, nov. 



avTifjiLfXL^Tis, imitating, modelled after. 



Frons with strong anterior tuft of scales. Tongue pre- 

 sent. P9,lpi rather long, porrect or obliquely ascending; 

 second joint thickened with appressed scales; terminal joint 

 short, obtuse. Thorax with a small posterior crest. Abdomen 

 with a series of small dorsal crests. Posterior tibiae with 

 terminal spurs only. Forewings with 2 from ^, 3 from near 

 angle, 4 and 5 long-stalked from angle, 6 from upper angle, 

 areole absent, 7, 8, 9, 11 stalked from before angle, 10 absent, 

 11 running into 12. Hindwings with 2 from |, 3 and 4 

 separate but approximated at origin, 5 from middle of cell, 

 6 and 7 stalked, 8 anastomising with cell to f . 



Certainly one of the Gymnoscelis group, and probably 

 directly connected with Symmimetis^ but in all other
