a discal dot at J, a short streak beneath it on fold, a dot 

 above middle, another at f , a fine streak from beneath this 

 last to between first dot and streak ; a very obscure terminal 

 line ; cilia whitish mixed with fuscous. Hindwings and cilia 

 grey. 



An obscure inland species allied to N. pycnada, Low. 

 Queensland examples are darker and with markings more 

 obsolete, but appear to be the same species. 



Hab. — Queensland: Adavale, in March; Victoria: Sea 

 Lake, in December (Goudie) ; eight specimens. 



Nephogenes stenoptila, n. sp. (crrei'07rnAo9, narrow-winged). 



d , 18-19 mm. Head whitish. Palpi whitish irrorated 

 with fuscous. Antennae grey; ciliations in male 1. Thorax 

 white irrorated with fuscous. Abdomen whitish : bases of 

 segments on dorsum brownish ; tuft ochreous- whitish. Legs 

 whitish irrorated with fuscous; posterior pair whitish. Fore- 

 wings narrowly elongate, costa nearly straight except towards 

 apex, apex rounded, termen very obliquely rounded; white 

 irrorated throughout with fuscous ; a fuscous dot in disc at § ; 

 cilia whitish mixed with fuscous. Hindwings and cilia pale- 

 grey. 



Smaller than the preceding, the forewings narrower with 

 straighter costa, the antennae with shorter ciliations. 



Hab. — Queensland: Adavale, in April; two specimens. 



Mesolecta angustella. 



Oecophora angustella, Wlk. : xxix., p. 694. 



Talantis chimerina, Mevr. : Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales, 

 1888, p. 1601. 



Nephogenes variabilis, Turn. : ante, 1896, p. 22. 



I believe these names to represent one species, which 

 occurs through the winter months, and is exceedingly variable, 

 some examples being almost wholly ochreous- whitish, others 

 almost wholly fuscous, with all intermediate gradations, and 

 scarcely any two quite alike. The antennal ciliations in male 

 are 4. 



Hab. — Queensland: Eidsvold, Nambour, Brisbane, Strad- 

 broke Island, Mount Tambourine, Southport, Coolangatta, 

 Rosewood, Esk, Warwick ; New South Wales : Sydney. 



Euprionocera, Turn. : ante, 1896, p. 6. 



Palpi with second joint moderately long, slightly exceed- 

 ing base of antennae, thickened with smoothly-appressed 

 hairs ; terminal joint more than half second, stout, smooth, 

 acute. Antennae without basal pecten : of male shortly 

 pectinate. Forewings with 2 from before angle of cell, 7 to 

 termen. Hindwings broader than forewings, cilia short.
