STUDIES IN AUSTRALIAN LEP1D0PTERA. n% 
DIPTYCHOPHORA POGONIAS n. sp. 
[7ra>ya)vtas, bearded.] 
(J. 12-13 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, and thorax pale-fuscous. 
Abdomen whitish irrorated with fuscous. Leg's whitish ; anterior 
pair pale-fuscous. Forewings triangular, costa gently arched, apex 
rounded, termen nearly straight, oblique, deeply incised at ^ from 
apex; whitish closely irrorated with pale-fuscous ; antemedian line 
obsolete ; a fine pale-fuscous line from f costa, curved outwards to 
approach near termen below incision, then inwardly curved to 
5 dorsum ; this is succeeded by a fine whitish line, and this again by 
a second, fine pale-fuscous line ; beyond this the terminal area is 
tinged with ochreous ; a fine short oblique white streak from costa 
near apex, and a second at apex ; a series of six or seven oblong 
black dots from tornus to incision ; cilia fuscous with metallic 
reflections, interrupted by whitish at and below incision and at 
tornus. Hindwings with termen rounded ; pale-fuscous ; in £ 
with a strong tuft of pale-ochreous hairs from base of costa on 
upperside, extending to f ; cilia whitish with a pale-fuscous basal 
line. 
Extremely similar to D. ocliracealis, but at once distinguished 
by the bearded hindwings of $ . 
Type in Coll. Turner. 
Q. Bunya Mountains, in December ; four specimens. 
Gen. NEPHALIA nov. 
[vrj(f)aX.Lo<s, abstemious.] 
Frons flat, not projecting. Tongue absent. Palpi long, 
porrect. Maxillary palpi triangularly dilated. Forewings with all 
veins present, 8 and 9 stalked, 11 running into 12. Hindwings 
with 4 and 5 short-stalked, 6 from upper angle of cell. 
The absence of the tongue is very unusual in this subfamily, 
but the genus must be referred here. The well-marked pectina- 
tion on median vein of hindwings forbids its reference to the 
Schoenobianae. From Ubida, in which the tongue is not really 
basent, it differs in vein 11 running into 12, and in the $ antenna? 
not being pectinate.
