N. albescens B. Bak. is one of the largest species, 30 mm. White, forewings here and there finely albescens. 
sprinkled with pale grey; a black costal spot at the base, 2 others in the middle and 3 before the apex; the post¬ 
median line with a short black dash. Hindwings translucent white, margined with greyish. Owgarra, New Guinea. 
N. epicentra Meyr. (13e). Forewing nearly white with delicate marginal markings and punctate lines, epicenlra. 
base shaded with grey-blue; hindwings faintly yellowish-brown. Larger than the preceding ones. Mentioned 
by Meyrick from Sydney, where it seems to be scarce since I did not encounter it there. 
N. fuscibasalis limps. (131) is much smaller than the preceding species. On forewings basal half and fuscibasalis. 
marginal area dull olive-brown, with a whitish transverse band between. The basal third separated by an 
outwardly convex band. Hindwing dark brown-grey with yellow marginal line. Ceylon and Burmah, undoubtedly 
also widely distributed in the other parts of India, where on account of its small size it may have been overlooked. 
N. laticincta Hmps. (13 b) resembles in size the preceding form. White, forewing with brown median laticincla. 
band projecting outward at apex of cell. Hindwings dirty white. Bhotan. 
N. latifascialis Wkr. (13 m) resembles the former, but of duller colouring from which the median latifascialis■ 
band stands out less clearly; this is paler and displays in the place of the projection a feeble band at apex 
of cell. Sarawak. 
N. implens Wkr. (13 m), likewise from Sarawak, resembling the preceding species, of about equal implens. 
size, but ground-colour clearer white-grey, the median band not projecting toward the margin in the shape 
of a knee, but incurved in middle, having therefore its distal edge concave. May be only an aberrative ? 
of the latter species. 
N. lauta Sioinh. is said to resemble implens, but with distinct antemedian line. Discovered by Fruhstorfer lauta. 
in January in Siam at an altitude of about 1000 ft., 7 / 10 inches. Unknown to me, does not perhaps belong here. 
N. melanogramma Hmps. (13 b) resembles in its outward appearance a Tineid of which many similar 
species are found in Australia; but it may easily be recognized by the patches of raised scales on forewing 
characteristic of most Nola. Forewing with black base and black dentate lines bordering the basal and 
marginal areas, as well as a double line in the middle. Hindwings brownish-yellow, abdomen dark brown. 
New South Wales. — semograpta Meyr. (13 m) is very much like the other, but with only a small dark spot semograpta. 
at the base and the apical area shaded darker; also smaller. Victoria, Tasmania. 
N. aulacota Meyr. (131), superior in size to the preceding ones, with sharply, though irregularly aulacota. 
marked, dirty white forewings traversed by oblique rows of dark tooth-shaped spots; below costa some blackish- 
brown longitudinal streaks, - hindwings pale yellow. Melbourne and Tasmania, apparently scarce. 
N. tornotis Meyr. (131), much smaller than the preceding form, with even more irregular markings; tornotis. 
beyond the cell a few dots arranged in a semi-circle, above the middle of the inner margin a grey dash. 
Hindwing dull white, apical area shaded greyish. Queensland. 
N. monozona Low. (13 a), grey-yellow, inner part of'cell more white, outer half of hindwings shaded dark monozona. 
brown. From costa 3 indistinct blackish spots, the first starting before the middle and cutting obliquely through 
the cell; the other two short, one beyond the middle, the other before the apex of the costa. South-Australia. 
N. melanchysis Hmps. (13a), coloured and marked very much like X. phaea (Vol. 2, pi. 10c), but melanchysis. 
hindwings whitish with slight basal shading, not brown-grey as in phaea. An indistinct oblique streak 
separates the marginal from the inner half. Tonga. 
N. diagona Hmps. has head and thorax white, thinly sprinkled with brown; abdomen ochreous, brown- diagona. 
grey beneath. Forewings white, sprinkled with fuscous, especially in the outer half of the median area; on 
the costa a minute dark spot near the base. Antemedian line blackish, with small costal spot, oblique, 
sinuous at submedian fold, then oblique inwards. A dark spot on costa above apex of cell and an oblique 
wavy line from lower angle to inner margin. Postmedian line blackish, oblique to vein 5, then oblique 
nwards and slightly turning outwards toward inner margin. Subterminal line indistinct, dark, angled below
