This and the following allied species are peculiar in their 

 elongate forewings, with strongly oblique termen and simple 

 pattern of longitudinal streaks. There is some variability in 

 the neuration of the hindwings; 6 and 7 may be separate or 

 stalked, and 3 and 4, although usually separate, may be con- 

 nate. They must, I think, be referred to this genus, though 

 somewhat intermediate between it and Tortrix. 



Hab. — New South Wales: Mount Kosciusko (6,000 to 

 7,000 ft.), in January; nine specimens. 



Epichorista leptosticha, n. sp. 

 ( A.e7rro(TTi^o5, with slender streaks). 



d, 9' 17-21 mm. Head and. thorax dark-grey. Palpi 

 1\\ grey, internal surface and lower edge whitish. Antennae 

 grey; ciliations in male \. Abdomen grey, tuft whitish. 

 Legs fuscous; posterior pair whitish. Forewings narrow, 

 elongate, not dilated; costa slightly arched near base, thence 

 straight, apex round-pointed, termen straight, strongly 

 oblique; in male without costal fold; grey, irrorated with 

 pale-ochreous; a white costal streak, rather broad at base, 

 gradually narrowing, and not quite reaching apex; costal 

 edge dark-fuscous near base, thence grey; a slender white 

 median streak from \ to termen ; sometimes short white 

 streaks to termen above and below this; cilia grey-whitish. 

 Hindwings grey; cilia whitish. 



Larger than the preceding, the antennal ciliations shorter, 

 the streaks more denned, median streak reaching termen, and 

 without any streak on fold. 



Bab. — New South Wales: Mount Kosciusko (5,000 to 

 6,000 ft), in March; seven specimens. 



Arotrophora hemiplecta, n. sp. (e/xi7rAe/<Tog, half-netted). 



<$ , 15 mm. Head fuscous-brown. Palpi 5 ; fuscous with 

 a median reddish-brown streak on external surface, lower edge 

 whitish. Antennae fuscous; in male markedly dentate with 

 fascicules of cilia. Thorax pale-fuscous. Abdomen fuscous- 

 brown. Legs ochreous-whitish ; anterior pair fuscous. Fore- 

 wings strongly dilated, costa moderately and evenly arched, 

 apex rectangular, termen sinuate, not oblique : ochreous- 

 whitish densely strigulated with brownish-fuscous, which 

 forms fine wavy transverse lines in basal half of wing, and 

 again towards apex ; a darker more distinct line from f costa 

 to midtermen, in certain lights partly edged with silvery- 

 white; cilia fuscous mixed with pale-brown. Hindwings 

 ochreous-whitish, towards apex, termen, and tornus coarsely 

 reticulated with blackish ; cilia whitish-ochreous with some 

 fuscous admixture at apex and tornus.
