A connecting link between Lichenaula and Maroya, but dis- 
tinguished from both by the thoracic crest. Prom Notosara, Meyr., it 
is distinguished by the palpi. 
62. Aeigncta steecoeata, Lucas. (Xylorycta stercorata, Lucas, 
Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. 1898, 164.) Male, 28-35 mm. Head, 
face, and palpi creamy-whitish. Antennae white, gradually becoming 
fuscous towards apex. Thorax creamy-whitish, faintly reddish- 
tinged ; posteriorly fuscous; a small slaty-grey spot on each 
shoulder. Abdomen whitish ; second segment reddish-brown, over- 
lapped by long whitish hairs from first segment; third, fourth, 
and fifth segments edged with reddish-brown. Legs whitish; 
anterior tibia?- and tarsi barred anteriorly by fuscous spots. 
Forewings oblong, costa rather strongly arched, apex obtuse, 
hindmargin not oblique, rounded towards anal angle ; creamy-whitish, 
very faintly reddish-tinged ; with slaty-grey spots ; first faintly marked 
at base of costa ; second beneath costa near base ; third rather larger 
resting on fold at ; fourth triangular at costa at -f (this sometimes 
contains a fuscous dot) ; fifth on fold before middle; four spots in 
outer half of disc rnnged in a circle, sometimes partly confluent ; within 
the circle are two blackish dots placed transversely in disc at f ; a 
tenth spot on inner margin before anal angle ; and an eleventh in disc 
at f ; a series of minute blackish dots parallel to hindmargin ; an 
interrupted reddish-brown line along hindmargin ; cilia reddish-brown, 
with a pale line at base and another at |. Hindwings whitish ; cilia 
whitish, at apf x fuscous. 
Brisbane : several specimens from larvae discovered by Mr. Illidge 
living in the stems of LJlceocarpus obovatus, dragging in leaves for food. 
8. MAROC1A, Walk. 
63. Mahoga unipunctana, Don. (Tortrix unipunctana, Don, 
Ins. N. Holl. ; Maroga gigantdla, Walker, 827.) Meyrick, 40. 
Brisbane: larvae feed on the bark of many different trees, spinning a 
web over the surface, and also tunnelling into the stem, which is 
frequently ring-barked. Found on various species of Acacia, Jachsonia 
scoparia (Dogwood), Casuarina, and probably other native trees. In 
gardens is very destructive to Cassia and many leguminous trees, and 
also some trees of other orders. 
64. Maeoga setioteicha, Meyr. Meyrick, 40. Charters 
Towers, Dawson River, and Duaringa : Mr. Dodd found the larva on 
Acacia. 
65. Maroga lj-dosa, Lucas. Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. 1893, 
164. I am not quite sure of the distinctness of this species from 
Maroya mgihica, Meyr. The peculiar shape of the forewings is 
identical in both, though the coloration appears different. Brisbane : 
the larvae discovered by Mr. Illidge feeding on the bark and tunnel- 
ling the stem of Eugenia. 
9. COMPSOTOENA, Meyr. 
66. Compsotoena oligaechica, Meyr. Meyrick, 41. De- 
scribed from a specimen taken at Toowoomba.
