Monopis trapezantha, n. sp. 
<$ $ . 17-20 mm. Head pale yellow. Palpi, thorax dark fuscous. 
Antennae ( <S $ ) fasciculate-ciliated. Forewings cell reaching J-, 2 
and 3 out of 4, 7 and 8 stalked, 9-11 approximated from hyaline 
circular impression in end of cell; dark fuscous becoming deep 
brown posteriorly sprinkled chiefly towards dorsum with small 
groups of somewhat raised dark blue-grey scales ; a large irregular- 
edged trapezoidal yellow blotch extending on costa from 1 to | and 
reaching | across wing: cilia dark brown. Hindwings 3 and 4 
closety approximated at base or stalked, 6 and 7 closely approxi¬ 
mated at base or short-stalked ; purple-grey ; cilia ochreous-grey. 
New Ireland and New Hanover, November, February, March; 
3 ex. (Meek, Eichhorn). 
Monopis crateroxantha, n. sp. 
5- 16-18 mm. Head orange-yellow. Palpi dark fuscous, tip 
whitish-ochreous. Thorax dark fuscous. Forewings 2 from near 
angle, 3 and 4 stalked from angle, 9 and 10 stalked, 11 from near 
angle, hyaline impression in end of cell; dark violet-grey, some 
ochreous-whitish specks on costal edge; broad brassy-yellow trans¬ 
verse fasciae sprinkled small dark fuscous dots before and beyond 
middle, first not quite reaching costa, second somewhat incurved; a 
small spot of ochreous-whitish marbling on costa before apex: cilia 
dark purplish-grey, ochreous-whitish towards tips on costa and 
upper part of termen. Hindwings brassy-grey ; cilia grey. 
New Ireland, December (Eichhorn) ; 2 ex. Near congestella. 
Monopis irrorella Woll. 
Referred to Tinea by its author, and subsequently accepted bv 
Walsingham and Rebel, but is a true Monopis (I have examined 
Wollaston’s specimens) : head yellowish-fulvous ; forewings 3 and 4 
stalked, 6 to costa, 6-11 separate and rather approximated, 11 from 
beyond middle, fuscous freckled and strigulated whitish, discal im¬ 
pression obscure. Hence the North American Monopis irrorella 
Dietz (named independently later), which is quite distinct, and has 
the discal impression conspicuously whitish, requires a new name; 
I name it myloclasta, n. sp. 
ANTXGAMBRA, n. g. 
Head densely rough-haired; ocelli posterior; tongue absent. 
Antennae §, filiform, simple, joints closely set, scape short. Labial 
palpi moderate, porrected, loosely scaled, second joint with 2 or 3 
apical bristles, terminal joint as long as second, somewhat pointed. 
Maxillary palpi moderate, several-jointed, folded, filiform. Thorax 
with posterior crest. Posterior tibiae with long fine hairs above. 
Forewings 2 from near angle, 7 to costa, 11 from towards base. 
Hindwings J, ovate-lanceolate, cilia 14 ; cell distorted posteriorly 
to form an oval impression subhyaline at extremity, 2 sinuate,
