Hah. — Broken Hill, New South Wales; three specimens 

 in March. 



MiCROSTOLA, n. g. 



Head smooth. Antennae dentate, thickened, ciliations 

 one-half. Labial palpi short (imperfect). Abdomen moderate. 

 Posterior tibiae smooth. Forewings with vein one furcate 

 towards base, two from about middle, three and four stalked, 

 five approximated towards three at base, seven and eight 

 stalked, nine out of seven from about one-quarter, eleven from 

 well before middle.^ Hindwings slightly broader than fore- 

 wings, three and four stalked, seven and eight stalked, five 

 absent, eight free. 



Mr. Meyrick, who suggested the above generic name, has 

 referred it to the Xyloryctidae. It has peculiar neural char- 

 acters, and as I possess but one male, further specimens may 

 have the hindwings normal. 



MiCROSTOLA AMMOSCIA, n. sp. 



S and 9 J 15-18 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, 

 legs, and abdomen pale ochreous-whitish, antennal ciliations 

 of male one-half. Forewings elongate, costa gently arched, 

 termen gently and obliquely rounded; pale ochreous-whitish, 

 slightly infuscated towards termen; a dark fuscous dot in 

 middle of wing at one-third from base; two similar dots, trans- 

 versely placed, at posterior end of cell; veins towards termen 

 faintly outlined with fuscous; cilia grejrish-ochreous, with a 

 fuscous basal line. Hindwings pale greyish-ochreous, infus- 

 cated at apex and along termen; cilia as in forewings. An 

 obscure-looking insect. 



Hah. — Kuranda, near Cairns, North Queensland; four 

 specimens from Mr. F. P. Dodd.
