ochreous tinged. Abdomen whitish-ochreous. Legs ochreous ; 

 anterior pair infuscated. Forewings elongate-oblong, costa 

 moderately arched, apex round-pointed, hindmargin straight, 

 oblique; snow-white ; costal edge pale-ochreous throughout; a 

 faint ochreous suffusion at anal angle; cilia wholly pale-ochreous. 

 Hind wings whitish-ochreous ; apical portion of disc greyish- 

 tinged ; cilia pale-ochreous. 



This resembles and might be mistaken for Neodrepta 

 (Xylorycta) luteotactella, Walk., but may be at once distin- 

 guished by the neuration, vein 8 of forewings running to costa, 

 and not to hindmargin, as in that species. It also differs in the 

 absence of orange coloration of face and palpi, and in the 

 ochreous hindwings. 



Sydney, New South Wales ; one specimen taken in October by 

 Mr. G. Lyell. The type is in his collection. 



Xylorycta acrochroa, n. sp. 



Female, 20 mm. Head and thorax snow-white. Palpi white. 

 Antennae whitish-ochreous ; basal joint white. Abdomen whitish. 

 Legs whitish-ochreous; posterior -tibiae and tarsi white. Fore- 

 wings elongate-oblong, costa slightly arched, apex round-pointed, 

 hindmargin straight, oblique ; snow-white ; a narrow ochreous 

 streak along costa from before middle to three-fourths, slightly 

 broader towards apex, where it ends in a short, very oblique 

 fuscous streak ; a small triangular orange-ochreous spot on costa 

 just before apex, bounded beneath by a fuscous line ; cilia snow- 

 white, at apex tipped with fuscous, and with a dark-fuscous bar 

 at one-third. Hindwings whitish grey ; cilia white. 



Conspicuously distinct among the species with white forewings 

 by the apical markings. 



Mount Tambourine (l,8o0 feet), Queensland ; one specimen in 

 November. 



ZAUfJLOPHORA, n. g. 



Head smooth. Tongue moderate. Antennae moderate, in 

 male shortty bipectinated throughout, basal joint moderate with- 

 out pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved ascending, second 

 joint much exceeding base of antennae, terminal joint shorter than 

 second, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, appressed to tongue. 

 Thorax smooth. Abdomen moderate. Anterior and middle 

 tibiae smooth-scaled, posterior tibiae rough-haired. Fore wing 

 with vein 2 from two-thirds, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to hindmargin, 

 8 to apex, 11 from middle. Hindwings over 1, veins 3 and 4 

 short-stalked, 5 parallel, 6 and 7 approximated at base. 



A development of Licheuaula, from which it is distinguished 

 by the pectinated antennae of the male. From Cryptophaga it 

 differs in the much longer palpi, more slender abdomen, and 

 smoother anterior and middle tibiae.
