apex pointed, termen faintly sinuate, extremely oblique; brown irregularly 
sprinkled with dark fuscous, more strongly irrorated on margins towards apex ; 
a transverse whitish blotch on costa about , well-defined and dark-margined 
anteriorly, suffusedly strigulated with fuscous posteriorly; first discal stigma 
small, black, on posterior edge of this; a round dark fuscous spot in disc at 
I, and a small similar spot midway between this and first discal stigma; a 
small whitish apical mark, and a dot on termen beneath it : cilia ochreous-grey, 
round apex and upper portion of termen suffusedly irrorated with blackish, 
on lower part of termen sprinkled with blackish towards base, on dorsum from 
before middle to tornus with four patches of blackish irroration, fourth smallest.

PLUTELLIDAE 
Cryphioxena n.g. 
Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior; tongue very short. Antennae 
I , in simple, basal joint moderate, with strong pecten. Labial palpi short, 
drooping, filiform, pointed. Maxillary palpi rudimentary. Posterior tibiae 
clothed with long fine hairs above. Forewings with 2 from angle, 3 absent, 
4 parallel, 5 absent, 6 and 7 stalked, 7 to costa, 8 absent, ii from middle. 
Hindwings f, lanceolate, cilia 2; 2 and 3 short, cell open between 3 and 5, 
4 absent, 5 and 6 out of 7. 
This peculiar form is possibly allied to the Australian Paraphyllis (itself 
an abnormal genus of doubtful affinity), of which it might be a development 
with reduced neuration; the characteristic hindwings are similar.
