N.S. W. : Sydney, in April; one specimen taken by Mr. G. H. 

 Wyld, and now in Coll. Lyell, corresponding closely to Rosen- 

 stock's description. 



Po L YC ho a,* n.g. 



Head rough-haired. Eyes naked. Tongue well developed. 

 Palpi curved, ascending, nearly reaching vertex; second joint 

 long, thickened with long hairs towards apex; terminal joint 

 moderate, bent forward, and resting on second joint. Antennae 

 of £ with a double row of pectinations extending to apex. 

 Thorax and abdomen not crested. Posterior tibiae with two pairs 

 of spurs, the inner spurs much longer. Forewings without 

 dorsal scale-tooth, with tufts of raised scales on upper surface, 

 vein 6 from upper angle of cell, 7 from near end of areole, 8, 9 

 stalked from areole, 10 connected by a bar with 8 + 9 to form the 

 areole, which is very long. Hindwings with 3 and 4 separate, 

 5 from middle of discocellulars, 6 and 7 separate, 8 approximated 

 to cell as far as middle, then diverging. 



This genus, which appears to me very isolated in our fauna, 

 should follow Cascera. The separation of veins 6 and 7 of hind- 

 wings is unusual.
