 that of the other species.

 one specimen. 



Sphyrelata laetifica, n. sp. (laetificus, cheerful). 



Sphyrelata indecorella, Meyr. : Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales,

 Wales: Sydney, in March. 



Sphyrelata amotella. 



Oecophora amotella, "Wlk. : Cat. Brit. Mus., xxx., p. 1034. 



Very similar to the preceding, but with grey hindwings. 



Hab. — Queensland: Brisbane, in March and April. 



Cryptolechia, indecorella, Wlk., xxix., p. 764, is, I think, 

 not this species, but probably a Eulechria. The type is very 

 imperfect, and I was not able to identify it.
