pectinations, 1-1^. Female, 39-42 mm. 
Nudgee, near Brisbane: larvae tunnel the stems of Melaleuca

emerge in November and December. 
2. Cryptophaga irrorata, Lw. (Gri/ptophasa irrorata, Lewin, 
Ins. IN". S. W.) Meyrick, 34. Antennal pectinations, 6-7, reaching their 
maximum in this species. 
Brisbane : larvae common on Gasuarina.

Ins. N. S. W.) Meyrick, 33. Duaringa. 
4. Cryptophaga platypedimela, Lower. Proc. Roy. Soc. S. A.,
