before angle, 3 from angle, 4 from shortly above, 5 and 6 widely 

 separate, 7 closely approximated at origin to 8, 9, which are stalked, 

 10 closely approximated, 11 from §. Hindwings with 2 to 7 equidis- 

 stant and parallel, 2 arising from before angle, 7 anastomosing 

 shortly with 8 soon after origin. 



Specially characterised by the extremely long palpi. Sir George 

 Hamp'son (loc. cit.) has incorrectly described the neuration of the 

 hindwings.

Gen. Euthrausta, nov. 

 Frons with anterior tuft of hairs. Tongue present. Palpi 

 moderately long (3 to 4), porrect or slightly depressed; second joint 

 dilated with rough scales above and beneath; terminal joint minute, 

 almost concealed. Maxillary palpi moderate, filiform. Antennae over 

 1, slender, joints dilated by whorls of raised scales at apices; in ^ 

 with long ciliations on basal part, apical part not ciliated. Thorax 

 and abdomen slender, not crested. Legs very long and slender, inner 

 spurs slightly longer than outer. Forewings with 2 from |, 3 from 

 before angle, 3, 4, 5, 6 equidistant and parallel, 7 approximated at 

 origin to 8, 9, which are stalked, 10 approximated, 11 from middle. 

 Hindwings with 2 from middle, 3 from before angle, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 equi- 

 distant and parallel, 7 anastomosing with 8. Rectinaculum of ^ 

 short, bar-shaped. Type, E. oxyprora.

Fam. AEGERIADAE. 



In the Proc. Roy. Soc. Q., 1917, p. 78, I attempted a revision of 

 the few known Australian species of this family, not knowing that Le 

 Cerf was publishing at the same time an important paper on this 

 family in Oberthur's Etudes de Lepidopterologie Comparee, xiv., p. 

 127. Since then Sir Geo. Hampson has completed a revision of the
