stout, pointed. Antennas short (half), in male with short cilia- 

 tions (half), pecten absent. Thorax smooth. Abdomen stout. 

 Forewings posteriorly dilated, apex rectangular, hindmargin not 

 oblique ; vein 1 b furcate at base, 2 from near angle of cell, 7 

 and 8 stalked, 8 to hindmargin, 11 anastomosing with 12. Hind- 

 wings over 1 ; vein 2 from angle of cell, 6 and 7 stalked. 

 Posterior tibia? smooth-scaled. 



I am indebted to Mr. Meyrick for indicating the correct posi- 

 tion of the following species, which superficially has a close 

 resemblance to some of the Tortricidce. 



PSEUDOTORTRIX ACOSMA, n. sp. 



Male and female, 16-17 mm. Head and thorax brownish- 

 fuscous. Palpi brownish-fuscous, internal surface of second joint 

 white. Antenna? whitish-ochreous, sometimes fuscous. Abdomen 

 dark-fuscous or brownish-fuscous. Legs whitish. Forewino-s 

 posteriorly strongly dilated, costa moderately arched, apex 

 rectangular, hindmargin very slightly sinuate, rounded beneath, 

 not oblique ; brownish-fuscous, posterior portion of disc sometimes 

 suffused with brownish-ochreous ; sometimes a small fuscous 

 erect line on inner-margin at one-fifth ; a very irregularly angled 

 fuscous line from costa before middle to inner-margin beyond 

 middle ; a fuscous dot in disc at two-thirds ; followed by two 

 oblique fuscous lines from costa at three-fifths and four-fifths 

 towards, but not reaching, anal angle and hindmargin respec- 

 tively — all these markings may be obsolete ; sometimes a dark- 

 f uscous line close to upper three-fourths of hindmargin ; cilia 

 dark-fuscous, at anal angle paler. Hindwings fuscous-grey ; 

 cilia grey, towards apex with a darker line at one-third. 



Brisbane, Queensland ; from January to May six specimens. I 

 have also a female specimen measuring 20 mm., with forewings 

 suffused with pale-ochreous and without markings, taken near 

 the Jenolan Caves, New South Wales, which may belong to the 

 same species. 



TmEIDJE. 



NEMOPHORA, Hdbner. 

 This genus has not hitherto been recorded outside Europe, and 

 I was in some doubt as to whether the first species here recorded 

 should be referred to it, as in my solitary specimen the face is 

 damaged and palpi broken. In a second closely allied species 

 received from Mr. G. Lyell these parts are perfect. 



Nemophora leptosticta, n. sp. 

 Male, 13 mm. Head, thorax, and abdomen pale-grey. 

 Antenna? over three, white. Legs whitish. Forewings pos- 

 teriorly dilated, costa slightly arched, apex round-pointed.
