3. TYMBOPHOEA, Meyr. 
40. Ttmbophora pelta-Stts, Meyr. Meyrick, 56. Brisbane : not 
uncommon. Mr. Illidge has observed the larvae reeding on the back 
of a smooth-barked Eucalyptus. 
4. HYLYPNES, n. g. 
Head with appressed hairs ; ocelli absent ; tongue well developed. 
Antennae moderate, in male filiform, with very long ciliations (5), basal 
joint rather stout, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second 
joint with appressed scales, terminal joint nearly as long as second, 
smooth, acute. Maxillary palpi very short. Thorax smooth. Abdomen 
moderate. Posterior tibiae rough-haired above and beneath. Fore- 
wings with vein 1 long — furcate towards base, 2 from -f, 3 from 
angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to hind margin, 11 from middle. Hind- 
wings 1, towards base below median and inner margin densely 
clothed with long hairs, 3 and 4 stalked, 5 approximated to 4 at 
base, tolerably parallel, 6 and 7 stalked, 8 connected with cell at a 
point near base. 
Distinguished from Xylorycta by the very long antennal ciliations. 
41. Htltpnes pudica, Lower. (0?ypsicharis pudica, LioweY,Vroc. 
Boy. Soc. S.A. 1896, 164.) Male, 16-19 mm. Female, 20-23 mm. 
Antennal ciliations in male, 5. The sexes differ in shape of forewing. 
In male apex is obtuse and hindmargin rounded ; in female apex acute 
and hindmargin slightly sinuate. 
Brisbane : commonly taken among tropical forest growth. 
5. LTCHENAULA, Meyr. 
I regard this as the central and probably the largest genus of the 
family. Veins 6 and 7 of the hindwings are closely approximated at 
base, and it is not always easy to observe that they are really separate. 
This may often be most conveniently made evident by cautiously 
moistening the wing with spirit, and viewing it with a good lens by 
oblique light. In at least one species, L. choriodes, Meyr., these veins 
sometimes vary, in some abnormal specimens proceeding from a point 
or even being stalked. In the length of the antennal ciliations in the 
male, and in the termination of vein 7 of the forewings, there is con- 
siderable variation. Nevertheless, I am of opinion that the genus 
should not be divided.
