OXYSACTIS, n. g. 
Essential characters of Brachyacma , but hindwings with cubital 
pecten. 
Type sciritis Meyr. 
RHYNCHOTONA, n. g. 
Head* with appressed scales ; ocelli posterior; tongue absent. 
Antennae J, in 3 serrulate, shortly ciliated, basal joint elongate, 
without pecten. Labial palpi extremely long, porrected, second 
joint thickened with dense scales loosely appressed and projecting 
at apex, terminal joint short, slender, acute, projecting little from 
apical scales of second. Maxillary palpi obsolete. Posterior tibiae 
shortly rough-scaled above. Forewings 2 and 3 stalked from angle, 
7 to just above apex, 8 and 9 out of 7, 11 from middle. Hindwings 
under 1, elongate-trapezoidal, apex rather produced, termen sinuate, 
cilia 1 ; with cubital pecten ; 3-5 nearly approximated at base, 
6 and 7 connate. 
Perhaps a derivative of Dichomeris. 
Rhynchotona phaeostrota, n. sp. 
3. 10 mm. Head, palpi, thorax greyish-ochreous. Forewings 
elongate, slightly dilated, apex obtuse-pointed, termen obliquely 
rounded: greyish-ochreous speckled dark fuscous; an indistinct 
small cloudy dark fuscous spot in disc at | ; plical and second 
discal stigmata small, blackish: cilia greyish-ochreous (imperfect). 
Hindwings rather dark grey ; cilia grey.

Dichomeris neatodes, n. sp. 
3*. 20 mm. Head, thorax whitish-grey. Palpi white, second 
joint dark fuscous except apex and apical hairs, with moderate tuft, 
terminal joint anteriorly blackish-sprinkled. Antennae serrulate, 
filiations 1. Forewings elongate, termen rounded, rather strongly 
oblique ; light grey, suffusedly mixed whitish towards costa, with 
indistinct fine lines of blackish scales on veins, and indistinct fine 
lines of whitish scales between these posteriorly and towards 
dorsum, within cell with obscure streaks of blackish irroration above 
lower edge anteriorly and beneath upper edge posteriorly ; stigmata 
small, black, first discal indistinct, plical linear, rather before first 
discal; a marginal series of rather large triangular black dots on 
apical part of costa and termen : cilia grey-whitish with three grey 
lines. Hindwings light grey ; cilia grey-whitish. 
Cyprus, Platres, 5000-6500 feet, September ( Hayward ) ; 1 ex. 
Perhaps allied to junijjerella.
