character than its separate origin. It is probably derived from the 

 Indian genus Simaethistis. 



Anomima phaeochroa, n.sp. 



^ 18 mm. Head, thorax, and abdomen fuscous. Palpi 4, fuscous. 

 Antennae fuscous. Legs pale-fuscous with darker irroration. Fore- 

 wings elongate-triangular, costa nearly straight, apex round-pointed, 

 termen concave, slightly oblique; pale-fuscous irrorated throughout 

 with darker scales; a small, round, dark-fuscous, discal spot at end 

 of cell beneath midcosta; a subterminal series of dark-fuscous dots; 

 cilia fuscous. Hindwings narrow, subtriangular, apex round-pointed, 

 termen sinuate; as forewings, but without markings. 



The type is in poor condition, but amply distinguished by the 

 generic characters. At best this must be a dull-coloured inconspicuous 

 insect. 



Q., Brisbane; one specimen. 



Gen. Palaeodes. 



Palaeodes, Hmps., A.M.N.H. (8), xii., p. 318 (1913). 



Frons flat. Tongue present. Palpi long (4), porrect; second 

 joint thickened with short rough hairs above and beneath, with a 

 slight apical inferior tuft; terminal joint short, slender, acute. Maxil- 

 lary palpi rather large, rough-scaled, strongly dilated. Antennae 

 simple except towards apex, where apices of joints are slightly 

 dilated by whorls of scales; in S' shortly ciliated throughout. Thorax 

 and abdomen rather slender, smooth. Posterior tibiae with spurs 

 nearly equal. Forewings with 2 from shortly before angle, 3, 4, 5 

 approximated from about angle, 6 separate, 7, 8, 9, 10 approxi- 

 mated, 11 from A. Hindwings with 2 from J, 3, 4 connate from 

 angle, 5 widely separate from middle of cell, 6, 7 co-nnate, 7 ana- 

 stomosing with 8. Retinaculum in J not bar-shaped. 



The absence of stalking of 8 and 9 of forewings distinguishes 

 this genus.

Gr-n. Tanycnema, hov. 

 Frons with a strong anterior tuft of hairs. Tongue present. 

 Palpi rather long, porrect. Maxillary palpi obsolete. Antennae short. 

 Legs long, slender; outer tibial spurs about f length of inner spurs. 

 Forewings narrow, elongate; 2 from well before angle, 3 from angle, 

 4 and 5 somewhat approximate at origin, 6 from upper angle, 7, 8, 

 9, 10 stalked, 7 arising slightly before 10, 11 free. Hindwings twice 

 as broad as forewings; 2 from i, Z from angle, 4 and 5 somewhat 

 approximate at origin, 6 well separated at origin from 5, still more 

 widely from 7, 7 from upper angle, closely approximated to 12 for 

 some distance, but not anastomosing.
