shortly rougli-liaired ; terminal joint short. Thorax covered 

 with long loose hairs, not crested. Abdomen without crests. 

 Posterior tibiae hairy on dorsum. Forewings normal. Hind- 

 wings with cell over J; 5 from slightly below middle (f).

22. Gen. Bathyteicha, nov. (/SaOvrpcxos, with thick hair). 



Frons not projecting, covered with rough hairs. Antennae 

 of male bipectinated to apex. Tongue absent. Palpi 

 moderate, obliquely ascending; second joint shortly rough- 

 haired above and beneath; terminal joint long. Thorax 

 densely hairy, without crests. Abdomen not crested. Pos- 

 terior tibiae hairy. Forewings normal. Hindwings with 

 cell J; 5 from slightly below middle (f). 



truncata, Wlk. Tliis cannot be referred to Phragmati- 

 'phila, Hmps., better known as Nonagria, although it is allied, 

 because it has no frontal projection. I have not seen the 

 type of that genus, but in typliae the tongue appears suffi- 

 ciently strongly developed. 



23. Gen. Lophocalama, Hmps. 



I have not been able to examine this genus, but it seems 

 sufficiently distinct. The tongue is fully developed; thorax 

 with a triangular anterior and double posterior crest ; abdomen 

 without crest. 



f neuritis, Hmps. 



24. Gen. Peripyra, Hmps. 



Frons not projecting. Palpi moderate, ascending ; second 

 joint rough-scaled anteriorly, and with a small posterior 

 terminal tuft; terminal joint rather long. Thorax with a 

 small undivided posterior crest. Abdomen hairy, without 

 crests, but with dense lateral tufts of hair. Posterior tibiae 

 hairy. Neuration normal. 



Allied to the New Zealand Bityla and the European 

 Amfhipyra, though the abdomen is less flattened; but this is 

 in any case an unsatisfactory character. It agrees with them 

 in the lateral abdominal tufts, but differs in the small, acute, 

 posterior, thoracic crest.

[Hampson refers f atroniterhs, Wlk., to the genus 

 Amphipyra, but as the Australian locality requires confirm- 

 ation, I have omitted it.]
