ARIGNOTA, n.g.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
Head with appressed scales; ocelli absent; tongue well-developed. Antennae in ♂ deeply serrated, moderately ciliated (2/3 – 1); basal joint somewhat swollen, without pecten. Labial palpi moderately long, curved, ascending, second joint with appressed scales, slightly rough beneath, terminal joint about half second, smooth, acute. Maxillary palpi very short. Thorax with a dense posterior crest. Abdomen rather stout. Anterior tarsi and tibiae somewhat thickened with scales, middle tibiae rough-haired above, posterior tibiae densely rough-haired above and beneath. Forewings with vein 1 long-furcate towards base, 2 from 3/5, 3 from angle, 3, 4, and 5 closely approximated at base, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to apex, 11 from middle. Hindwings over 1, oblong-ovate, towards base below median and towards inner margin densely clothed with long hairs, 3 and 4 short-stalked, 5 tolerably parallel, 6 and 7 separate but very closely approximated at base, 8 connected with cell near base.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
A connecting link between <i>Lichenaula</i> and <i>Maroga,</i> but distinguished from both by the thoracic crest. From <i>Notosara, </i>Meyr., [Depressariidae] it is distinguished by the palpi.</blockquote>

Athrotaxivora has been found at only three locations in far southern and western Tasmania but could be more widespread within the overall distribution of King William Pine. Nevertheless, it is apparently absent from some otherwise suitable sites, such as the conifer forest growing in the moraine below Lake Fenton at 980m in Mount Field National Park. It was also searched for without success on the upper slopes of Algonkian Mountain (42.21S l46.02E), a remote rainforest site which has been badly affected by fire in the past decade. A population of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A. tasmanica</i> occurs near the summit of Mount Read, a mineralogically prospective area outside of any conservation zone. The Mount Read area has apparently served as an environmentally benign refuge for biota since the end of the last ice age, as evidenced by the recent discovery of a 10,000-year-old clone of Huon Pine, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lagarostrobus franklini,</i> at Lake Selina.<br />
<o:p></o:p></span><span lang="EN-US">Biology: details of oviposition are unknown but the female has a relatively short ovipositor and presumably lays eggs directly onto the foliage. Larvae construct untidy webbing retreats 5-lOcm long on the terminal branchlets (Fig. 19) from which they venture at night to graze on the adjacent foliage. Frass is incorporated into the silken retreats of the larva. Larval damage can be fairly conspicuous, especially if associated with discoloration of the adjacent leaves. Larvae have been collected by pyrethrum knock-down techniques. Pupation occurs within the shelter, and the pupal shell is not extruded at eclosion. Adults are nocturnally active and both sexes fly to light at night.</span><span lang="EN-US">King William pine, a large fire-sensitive rainforest tree endemic in montane environments of western Tasmania (Fig. 20), is the only known foodplant of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A. tasmanica.</i> It has not been found, despite searching, on the related pencil pine <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A. cuppressoides</i> or <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A. laxifolia,</i> a</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #24242c; font-family: Times-Roman, serif; font-size: 9.5pt;"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #24242c; font-family: Times-Roman, serif;">putative</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #24242c; font-family: Times-Roman, serif;">hybrid between the two.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></blockquote><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><br />

<b>Remarks:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
Genetic evidence has seen <i>Leistarcha </i>moved to the Oecophoridae. Bathydoxa (so far) remains behind on the Xyloryctidae.<br />
Evidence from genitalia dissection shows a similarity between <i>tenuistria</i> and <i>euxesta. </i>Both are distictively different from <i>Leistarcha.</i></div>

</div><blockquote><span lang="EN-US"><b>Original description,</b></span><span lang="EN-US"><b> </b>Newman 1856</span></blockquote><blockquote>Genus <i>Boydia, </i>Newman.</blockquote><blockquote>Caput mediocre rotundatum, fronte laevigato; antennae elongatae, setaceae nullo modo ciliatae: labipalpi mediocres, 3-articulati, articulo basali brevi scite cyathiformi; 2do elongato, crasso, apice truncato; 3tio apicali gracili, brevi, nudo, peracuto, paullulum recurvo: alae anticae elongatae marginibus parallelis, disco longitudinaliter profunde unisulcato; posticae amplae, insecti quiescentis ultra anticos protrusae, margine costali fimbria longissima venuste ornatis.</blockquote><blockquote>The very remarkable appearance of this insect, reposing with its hind wings protruding from beneath its fore wings, as in the familiar <i>Gastropacha Quercifolia,</i> and each furnished with a plume of delicate long hairs attached to its costal margin, at once distinguishes it from any other of the Tineadae with which I am acquainted: the labial palpi also differ from those of any described genus, and the deep sulcus on the fore wings is a character of interest. I have dedicated the genus to Mr. Thomas Boyd, one of our most zealous and active Microlepidopterists. The genus will in all probability be found to be most nearly allied to our <i>Anchinia </i>[Oecophoridae].</blockquote><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Antennae moderate, in male filiform, simple, basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi moderately long, curved, ascending, second joint with rough scales beneath projecting towards apex, terminal joint very short, ¼ of second, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, appressed to tongue. Thorax smooth. Abdomen moderate. Posterior tibiae rough-haired above.

Head, palpi, and thorax cinerous grey-whitish, second joint of palpi fuscous at apex, terminal joint nearly half of second, acute. Antennae fuscous, obscurely annulated with white. Abdomen dull silvery-grey, segmental margins dull reddish. Legs cinerous-grey-whitish, anterior coxae whitish, posterior legs greyish. Forewings elongate, moderate, costa gently arched, termen strongly oblique; 7 and 8 coincident; cinerous-grey-whitish; a streak of white along fold from base to end of cell, containing an oblique fuscous patch in middle, and two or three fuscous dots on upper half at and near extremity; cilia cinerous-grey-whitish, terminal half grey-whitish; hindwings pale grey-whitish, somewhat fuscous tinged around apex; cilia grey, with a fuscous basal line.</blockquote><blockquote>Bears a striking resemblance to <i>Procometis tetraspora</i> Low., but the resemblance is superficial only; the neuration of the forewings is a specific distinction. Although the terminal joint of palpi is somewhat longer than the characters of <i>Hypertricha,</i> that is, one-quarter of second, I scarcely consider it necessary to erect a new genus for its reception, but should the male show additional characters there may be some justification for doing so.</blockquote><blockquote>Broken Hill, New South Wales.

<span lang="EN-US">Uncus porrected, flattened, top sclerotized, truncate, side angles acutely produced. Gnathos fused laterally to uncus, porrect, subquadrate. Tegumen rather short, articuated with vinculum. Valva tapering, slightly curved, apex upturned, narrow. Costa of valva sinuate. Clasper developing from inner margin of sacculus, a thumb-like pedicel surmounted by a strongly sclerotised, tapering, inturned hook. Lower saccular margin straight. Apex of sacculus a small, inwardly curved, weakly sclerotised round-ended structure that overlaps the base of the clasper. There is a small sinus between the clasper and the apex of the sacculus. The anellus is moderately short, a tube of two lobes open ventrally. A densely folded and convoluted membrane surrounds the anellus, attached to the vincular margin. Saccus v-shaped; juxta pointed, concave, sided upturned. Aedeagus moderate, slightly curved towards distal end, tapering slightly.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><i>Catoryctis,</i></span><span lang="EN-US"> n.g.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
Head smooth; ocelli absent; tongue well-developed. Antennae moderate, in male filiform or serrate, shortly ciliated (¼ – ½), basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved, second joint with appressed scales, terminal joint as long as second, slender, smooth, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, appressed to tongue. Thorax smooth. Abdomen moderate. Posterior tibiae with appressed scales. Forewings with vein 1 furcate towards base, 2 from 2/3, 3 from angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to apex, or rarely 7 absent (coincident with 8), 11 from middle. Hindwings over 1, trapezoidal-ovate, 1b clothed with long hairs towards base, shortly fuscate [sic] at base, 3 and 4 from a point or short-stalked, 5 parallel, 6 and 7 approximated at base, 8 connected with cell at a point near base.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
The species of this genus are probably all attached to <i>Casuarina, </i>and have the longitudinally striped colouration necessary for concealment among the slender twigs of that tree.</blockquote>

CATORYCTIS, Meyr.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
Antennae of male filiform, simple; Meyrick describes .the antennae of male as shortly ciliated (¼ - ½), but I have always found a total absence of cilia. In the forewings vein 7 is absent (coincident in<i> mediolinea </i>and <i>subparallela,</i> present in all the other species.</blockquote>

<blockquote>
♂. 20 mm. Head ochreous-white; palpi ochreous-white, terminal joint diffused and sparingly dotted with fuscous; antennae dark fuscous; thorax ochreous; abdomen ochreous, with a band of blackish-fuscous at base of segments; legs fuscous. Forewings elongate, costa arched, hindmargin obliquely rounded, ochreous, with white bands and blackish fuscous lines and bands. Forewings with four longitudinal bands of ground colour, the first along costa, thins out towards apex and base, and is bounded by a subcostal silver-white line from base to beyond ½ costa; the second line is median and is suffused with silvery-white; the third line is immediately before the inner margin and the fourth is inner marginal, both are from near base of inner margin and thin out towards apex; the space between first and second lines is deep blackish-fuscous, and is divided by eight lines of ground colour, running obliquely outwards from median to costa, the apical ones gradually become shorter; the second space between the second and third bands is blackish-fuscous and is divided in hind marginal third by four ground colour longitudinal parallel lines: cilia dark fuscous. Hindwings light grey shaded with darker fuscous; veins darker; cilia greyish-fuscous, with a broad darker band near base.</blockquote>

The superficial resemblance of these various forms is very great, but I am unable to determine whether they imitate one another or a common model, or whether the very simple resultant may not have been produced independently by similar development under analogous circumstances, without direct imitation of anything; or instance, the end desired might have been conspicuousness.

<span lang="EN-US">There appears to be a well-formed transtilla in the dissected male genitalia. This feature is otherwise absent in the Xyloryctidae. The relative size of the genitalia and phallus is also most untypical of other Australian Xyloryctidae. Barcoding results have proved to be inconclusive, as there is not enough material for comparison; whether this genus belongs in the Xyloryctidae remains a mystery. Apparently not related to other Australian genera; may be introduced.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US"><i>Crypsicharis enthetica</i></span><span lang="EN-US"><i> </i>n. sp. — ♀ 22 mm. Head whitish, sidetufts tinged with brownish above, collar light brownish. Palpi whitish, second joint slightly brownish-tinged except towards apex. Thorax grey, patagia lighter. Abdomen whitish. Forewings rather elongate, moderate, somewhat dilated, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen straight, rather oblique; 8 to apex; white, sprinkled with light ochreous-brown except along costa, dorsal half tinged whitish-ochreous, dorsal area beneath fold more thickly irrorated with light brown; plical and second discal stigmata forming small brown spots; a thick inwards-oblique brown streak from dorsum at 2/3 nearly to middle of disc, rather expanded on dorsum; a marginal series of brown dots round apex and termen: cilia white, outer half on termen pale ochreous, on tornus wholly pale ochreous. Hindwings with 6 and 7 remote at base; whitish-grey-ochreous; cilia whitish-ochreous.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
Queensland: Bellenden Ker. — 1 ex. Type Mus. Stockholm. Very like <i>neocosma,</i> but in that species the oblique streak of forewings rises from near tornus, and vein 8 runs to costa.</blockquote>

<blockquote>
The genus <i>Cryptophasa</i> (or, as it was termed, section of the genus <i>Bombyx</i>) was established in 1822 by Mr. Lewin, for the reception of several very interesting moths, inhabitants of New South Wales, remarkable for their economy in the larva state, imitating in this respect the goat moths, Aegeriae, &c., but differing from them materially in the winged state.)* The wings are smooth and generally glossy; the antennae of the males pectinated, but terminated by a thread at the extremity. The female antennae are filiform; the palpi are curved up before the eyes, divergent, round, and terminating in a point; and the spiral tongue is described as short or not at all discernible. In several respects this genus seems allied to the Arctiidae, but its true relations are doubtful.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
* The genus corresponds to Nycterobius of Macleay. We have placed it provisionally at the end of the Hepialidae, in consequence of the similarity of the habits of the larvae.</blockquote>

<blockquote>
Dies Genus ist von <i>Orthotelia</i> sehr sicher verschieden, von <i>Cryptolechia </i>mag der Unterschied weniger scharf sein. Doch mögen die kurzen Taster, der kurze Saugrüssel und die kurzen Fühler des Weibchens zur Trennung von der ohne Zweifel sehr artenreichen Gattung genügen. Da ich jetzt nur die Beschreibung einer Art und die ungenügenden Mittheilungen Lewin’s zur Hand habe, so kann ich im Allgemeinen nicht mehr sagen, als dass <i>Cryptophasa </i>hauptsächlich auf Australien angewiesen und nicht arm an Arten zu sein scheint, und dass einige Arten eine Grösse haben, nach welcher <i>Lewin</i> sie zu den Spinnern rechnete.</blockquote>

<blockquote>
The name of this genus is printed <i>Cryptophasa</i> by Lewin, but the second part of this word is meaningless, whilst the habits of the larvae show clearly that Lewin intended the name as I have written it; I have therefore made the correction. No confusion need occur with the Coleopterous genus <i>Cryptophagus,</i> since the different termination is a sufficient distinction.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
The genus is distinguished from all but <i>Pilostibes</i> by the pectinated antennae of the male. In most of the species the larvae excavate tunnels into the solid wood of trees, within which they reside, closing the entrance with a barricade of silk and refuse; from these they emerge by night and bite off entire leaves, which they drag into the burrow for food. The barricade is evidently intended not to conceal the entrance, for it is rather conspicuous, but as a bulwark against ants, which are the worst enemies of all larvae. These large larvae are not only a favourite food of the natives, but are also frequently eaten by whites, either raw or roasted, and are much esteemed by those who can get over early prejudices. The peculiar habits are, however, not invariable in the genus, and some of the smaller species show still those simpler and more usual methods of life, from which this more elaborate system has been developed.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
The perfect insects are in general rarely met with at large, although the larvae are often common. I believe the species flourish in the drier districts, where other Lepidoptera are scarce; and it is probable that judicious research will hereafter largely add to their number.</blockquote>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-variant: small-caps;">Obs.</span><span lang="EN-US"> All the larvae of the section Cryptophasa, which we have figured, seal themselves in by an agglutinated covering across the cell or chamber, when they transform to pupae; through which, however, the moth can force from below: yet it is a strong bulwark against external foes, and effectually supplies the purposes of the old covering at the mouth of the cell, which falls off soon after the larva's final retirement. We have named the section Cryptophasa from the secret and secure manner in which this new and evidently natural division of moths live in the larva state: reflecting on the singularity of which we are struck at the wonderful means of self-preservation which the great Author of nature has bestowed on different members of the animal creation; among which we know insects of every country abound with examples. Our author tells us, the great enemy of which those larvae seem so cautious, is the mantis, or walking leaf, which abound in new South Wales, devouring multitudes of larvae in the day-time. He also tells us the natives of that country seek those wood-boring caterpillars as a delicious article of food, climbing high trees, and searching for them with great labour.

<span lang="EN-US">Another tribe of larvae, not very numerous, content themselves for their habitations with simple holes, into which they retire occasionally.

But the larvae of the very remarkable lepidopterous genus <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Nycterobius</i> of Mr. MacLeay) before alluded to, excavate for themselves dwellings of a more artificial construction; forming cylindrical holes in the trees of New Holland, particularly the different species of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Banksia,</i> to which they are very destructive, and defending the entrance against the attacks of the Mantes and other carnivorous insects by a sort of trap-door composed of silk interwoven with leaves and pieces of excrement, securely fastened at the upper end, but left loose at the lower for the free passage of the occupant. This abode they regularly quit at sunset, for the purpose of laying in a store of the leaves on which they feed. These they drag by one at a time into their cell until the approach of light, when they retreat precipitately into it, and there remain closely secluded the whole day, enjoying the booty which their nocturnal range has provided.

<span lang="EN-US">The moths of the family Xyloryctidae were known to me many years ago , and the curious habits of the larvae formed the subject of frequent investigations, but not until the present year did I prosecute any active search for them. This season I have been eminently successful, as the exhibit illustrating these remarks will prove. Many of you I have no doubt have noticed those strange webs mixed with dejectamenta, little bits of bark, and woody matter, which serve to hide the entrance to their burrows or tunnels in the stems and branches of young trees. The caterpillars form these tunnels and so cover them, I believe, to protect themselves from external foes, such as birds (they are certainly not protection against the ichneumonidae, for these insects destroy them wholesale), for being fat, naked grubs with only a few slight hairs, they no doubt would form a delicious morsel. In support of this latter opinion we have the fact that the aboriginals in former days sought out these larvae, cut them out of their holes, and ate them on the spot, as we would an oyster. These caterpillars are all nocturnal in their habits, and, as far as my researches show, only leave their chamber in the stem during the nighttime, when they hurriedly bite off a leaf and retire bearing it off with them. It is fit curious sight to watch them dragging off the leaf and entering the hole backwards (which they do with considerable celerity if at all disturbed), raising at the same time the covering which conceals the entrance to their burrow with their hinder extremity, and pulling the leaf after them. The leaf is now secured with a few silken threads, and the insect feeds on it at its leisure without fear of being snapped up by some outside enemy. Some of the species, however, do not appear to feed on the leaves, but devour the soft bark round the entrances to their burrows, spinning the web-covering for some distance, and indeed extending it as they exhaust the food supply in the immediate neighhourhood of the hole. There is one species at present known which makes no burrow or tunnel, but simply spins its covering on the tree stem and feeds on the soft bark underneath, and when changing to the pupa state forms a cocoon of silk and bits of bark and excrementitious matter mixed. Others again spin long silken galleries amongst the leaves and twigs whilst many tunnel into the cones and seed-heads of plants and trees. Mr. Meyrick states that T. laetiorella resides in a barricaded tunnel in stems of eucalyptus, etc.; whereas I find it to be a bark-feeder and that it spins a cocoon. I have reared many and have never found them as stated by him, though it is not unlikely that his statement is correct, for I know Xylorycta luteotactella occasionally to reside in a tunnel in stems of Banksia integrifolia, though usually spinning galleries amongst twigs and leaves, and finally forming a cocoon. The larger and more characteristic species of the family are all, however, tunnel-makers. As the larvae grow bigger they extend the tunnel in size, and this seems to form the chief impediment to rearing them from a young state, as the wood dries up when cut off and becomes too hard for their mandibles, hence they either die in the tunnel or leave it. I have several times succeeded in getting them to form a silken chamber along the interior angle of the box in which they have been placed and so reared them without affecting the normal size of the imago. It is therefore necessary for success in securing the perfect insects to obtain their caterpillars when full-fed or nearly so or else when they have already passed to the chrysalis state. They seal themselves in the burrow when about to change, and some of them do this very artfully. One or two species spin out a spout-like web of silk and bits of bark mixed, which looks like a little piece of dead or decaying stick; another species spins a web flush with the bark and so exactly like it that it is almost impossible for it to be distinguished. Others again simply spin a strong web inside and across the opening of the tunnel, whilst some content themselves with only partially closing the hole with a curved piece of brown horn-like substance, the nature of which is unknown to me, and occasionally the opening is quite unprotected. Just before pupation takes place the external covering is usually torn away, and a very careful search is then necessary to secure examples. They remain in the pupa state for a very variable period, some emerging in a fortnight or three weeks and others after as many months. As a rule the trees are not seriously damaged by their burrows, though odd branches become sickly and die. The large <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Maroga unipunctana,</i> however, is an exception, for it feeds on the bark and frequently eats completely round the stem, thus ringbarking the tree. Dogwood and wattle trees may often be found quite dead above from this cause. On the moth emerging the hole soon commences to close up and no external trace of it is left after a little time, except perhaps a slight scar which also in course of time disappears. The abovementioned <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">M. unipunctana</i> is said to be very destructive in Victoria to fruit trees, but I have not noticed its appearance here in such trees, possibly because my experience is limited to my own garden. I have, however, noted a large species amongst leguminous trees in the Botanic Gardens, one of which, in front of the curator's house, has been utterly destroyed by them. The pupae of the species of Xyloryctidae are usually cylindrical, conical at the hinder extremity and rather flattened towards the head, with one notable exception. In the insect affording it the chrysalis has a strange bifurcated projection in front, which appears to be for the purpose of cutting, auger-like, a way through the very thick and strong web the larva spins in front of its tunnel before changing to the chrysalis. Though many of the insects are quite common in the larval state, yet the moths are of great rarity and are seldom seen even by experienced entomologists. Securely as they appear to be hidden in these tunnels, yet they have enemies in various ichneumons with long ovipositors, which find them out and deposit their eggs in their bodies thus fortunately preventing them from becoming too plentiful. The larva of a beetle belonging to the Cleridae, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Natalis </i>sp., also preys upon them, and finally changes to the perfect state in the gallery lately occupied by the caterpillar of the Xyloryct moth.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 17.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Protective resemblance has evidently much to do with the explanation of the different colours and patterns displayed by many of the moths. For example the close similarity in colour between <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Uzucha humeralis</i> and the bark of the spotted gum and between <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cryptophaga nubila</i> and that of the teatree is very obvious, and becomes significant when we remember that the trees mentioned are the food plants of these moths. At the same time other Xyloryctidae, e.g., <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">C. epadelpha,</i> seem to be coloured In a manner specially suitable for rendering them conspicuous.

<span lang="EN-US">On this exhibition Lord Walsingham read the following notes:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US">"The genus <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cryptophasa</i> (which has been very properly corrected to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cryptophaga</i> by Mr. Meyrick), as well as the species published in Lewin's ‘Natural History of the Lepidopterous Insects of New South Wales’ (London, 1805), have been accredited to Lewin, but it would appear that they should be attributed to M<sup>c</sup>Leay on the authority of a letter from A. M<sup>c</sup>Leay to the Rev. W. Kirby, dated 20th February, 1805, and published in Freeman's ‘Life of the Rev. William Kirby,’ pp. 226—27 (1852). In this letter M<sup>c</sup>Leay says 'I have been describing eighteen Botany Bay Lepidopterous insects, which are about to be published by Lewin, with all their changes and natural history. Amongst them, there is a most distinct new genus (in my opinion), which I propose to name <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Nycterobius</i> from <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Νυκτεροβιοσ,</i> noctu victum quaerens. The caterpillars form for themselves holes in the trunks of trees, where they hide themselves in the day-time : at night they come out and gnaw off leaves, which they drag to their holes; and when they have provided a sufficiency for the next day's consumption, they retire and feed leisurely, with their heads toward the mouth of the hole, which is covered by a curious contrivance.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US">" This note can only relate to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cryptophasa,</i> and this name was probably adopted as being more descriptive, if read in the sense of Mr. Meyrick's correction of the word to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cryptophaga,</i> which was obviously intended. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US">" The following notes have been compiled from a series of very interesting letters received from Mr. Dodd of Queensland, to whose exertions I am indebted for the rich series of bred examples of many species, from which the few specimens exhibited have been chosen.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US">" The larger species of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cryptophaga</i> are very rarely met with in the perfect state, even by experienced collectors who spend the greater part of their time collecting in the bush; indeed, it is not unusual for a whole season to pass by without a single specimen being seen. Some of the species are occasionally taken at light, and several of them feign death when roughly disturbed. The species have therefore to be bred; and this is not a very easy matter, for, as a rule, the larvae are very restless and wander about, although some will stay in their burrows after the branch has been cut down, and will feed upon leaves placed near. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">C. rubescens</i> is particularly difficult to deal with. It is therefore necessary to collect the insects in the pupal state, when they are not easy to find, owing to their having destroyed the conspicuous mantle before sealing up the burrow. The system found most successful is to locate the larvae, and in October, after they have pupated, to cut down the branches containing the burrows.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US">" The larvae must always leave their burrows at night when in quest of food, and seem to wander about a good deal, for quite a network of silken threads may be noticed along the branches which they traverse. As a rule they crawl up the branch in which they reside, though the threads may sometimes be noticed upon a different branch. They have been observed at night biting off the leaves and returning with them to their burrow (which generally is only excavated to the length of the larva), retiring tail first and securing the leaf to the web, which masks the entrance of the burrow. When the leaves become too dry, they are evidently cast off by most of the species, but the webs of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Z. nigricincta </i>often have a dozen or more fragments attached to them. The bark around and under the protective covering is eaten to the wood, and kept clean of the exuding gum by a spreading of silk. Most of the species of the family do this; if they did not, the hole and surrounding space would be covered with gum and the pupa would be suffocated. Sometimes the gum escapes and, breaking down this protective barrier, does occasion the death of the pupa by suffocation. A clear smooth space is therefore kept under, above, and on each side of the web, extending under the outside bark. Upon the approach of pupation the web immediately in front of the entrance to the tunnel is torn away, and the hole itself is closed with a stiff parchment-like plug or operculum. The protective mantle which masks the entrance to the burrow is sometimes securely fastened to the tongue of bark jutting beneath, and to this web the excrement is freely attached, as are also the discarded skins of the larva itself—often four or five heads may be found upon the mantle. ...</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">... " The Xyloryctinae are preyed upon by a host of ichneumons and other flies, and a species of cricket is frequently dislodged from the burrows,—whether it devours the larva or pupa or whether it merely takes possession of the empty burrow has not yet been ascertained. That many of the larvae lose their lives when out at night foraging for leaves is clearly shown by the number of untenanted burrows met with.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US">"The pupa of one species at least <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(C. rubescens),</i> as shown by an example in the drawer, assumes a very peculiar form which may or may not be protective. There are on the head a pair of chitinous excrescences arranged in the form of open mandibles; they themselves are of course immovable but, having regard to the fact that the pupa lies in a narrow hole with its head towards the opening, and that it has at least sufficient freedom to move the head from one side to the other, it is difficult to resist the impression that an enemy attempting to enter the burrow would regard these nippers as formidable objects. Is it possible that the resemblance to the jaws of some of the larger Hymenoptera may be specially intended to alarm crickets? These Mr. Dodd has frequently found in the burrows of other species which do not possess the appendages, and possibly also in those of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">C. rubescens.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US">" One of the most striking peculiarities of the genus <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cryptophaga </i>is to be found in the differences between the males and females. In some few cases (e.g. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">C. rubescens</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">C. irrorata</i>) the males and females are alike and therefore quite normal in this respect; but in numerous other cases the male develops more or less black colouring while the female remains white, instead of being, as one might have expected, darker than the male. In such species as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Z. epadelpha</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Z. intermedia,</i> the hindwings of the male become black, the forewings being white like those of the female. In <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Z. sacerdos</i> the male is black but retains a white thorax, while in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Z. nigricincta </i>the male is wholly slaty grey, and in the luteous species <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Z. balteata</i> the male is dark chocolate, and differs so widely in shape and size from the female as to have been put at one time in a separate genus. I leave it to those who have studied such subjects with more attention than myself to endeavour to give a rational interpretation of these differences. So far as my experience goes, the prevailing rule among the Lepidoptera is that the female is more sluggish and more protected by coloration than the male, but here we have apparently an exactly opposite process. The males appear to be gradually assuming a protective colouring, which in the conspicuous white females is wholly disregarded, with the single exception</span></div>

Abdomen with a broad orange-coppery band of fine bristles on the dorsum of the second segment. Fore wing broader, dilated, costa considerably curved towards the extremities, especially anteriorly, less curved in the middle, apex obtusely angular, termen little rounded above, more so beneath. Fuscouswhitish, costal half gradually suffused with fuscous, this suffusion broader and darker than in the male, transverse outwardly convex mark on the closing vein broader and more conspicuous: fuscous-blackish; the entire wing more distinctly speckled with fuscous-blackish. Hind wing darker, evenly fuscous, with faint bronze gloss, cilia somewhat paler, with a fine pale basal line. Otherwise as the male and, in my opinion, undoubtedly conspecific.<br />Rattan Camp, 1200 m, February 17 and 23, 1939. Two males. Araucaria Camp, 800 m, February 21, 1939: neallotype, female.

Hindwings whitish-ochreous, 6 and 7 stalked; cilia as in forewings.</span></blockquote><blockquote>One specimen, bred from <i>Casuarina quadrivalvis</i> [<i>Allocasuarina verticillata</i>], at Arthurton, Yorke Peninsula, in September.

<blockquote>(Tr.R.S.S.A., p. 171, 1893.)</blockquote><blockquote>Male, 38 mm. I have received from Mr. S. Angel the male of this species. In colour and markings it does not differ from the female; the antennal pectinations are about 1 ½; this is a similar character to that observed in sarcinota, Meyr. (to which this species is mostly allied), but is easily separated from that species by the totally different colouring, shorter terminal joint of palpi, and absence of double black dot on forewing, which is conspicuous in <i>sarcinota.</i></blockquote><blockquote>The male was taken by Mr. Field at Tennant's Creek, Central South Australia, and the female (type) at Arthurton, Yorke's Peninsula, South Australia.</blockquote><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><br />

Our specimen had formed a deep cylindrical cell in a large stem of the above-mentioned tree, at the setting off of a branch, where it had bored into the main wood; sallying out only by night, and bringing to its dwelling whole leaves of the broad foliage of this tree, with dexterity and great labour, exhibiting many marks of sagacity in its progress, and when it arrived at the entrance of its retreat, it raised up the covering with its hinder parts, and slipped down its cell backwards, dragging the leaf after it, the extreme end of the stalk of which it held artfully in its jaws, and did not quit it till it was safely and almost wholly within its cell, where it fastened it down, together with the covering of the entrance by a web. On leaves thus provided the larva feeds at leisure and in security. It changes to pupa within this cell or dwelling in January, making no web, remains thus thirty days, and is on the wing in February, when it frequents the tops of lofty trees. The male is shewn at 3; the female at 4; the larva at 1; the pupa in a section of its cell at 2; and the covering over the entrance at 5, where the larva is seen just going forth from its dwelling .</span></blockquote><blockquote></blockquote><blockquote><span lang="EN-US"><b>Subsequent description,</b></span><span lang="EN-US"> Boisduval, 1832</span></blockquote><blockquote>C.

It does not quit its hold till the leaf be almost entirely within its cell, where it fastens it down, together with the covering of the entrance, by a web.

Ins New South Wales, pl 11.</blockquote><blockquote>The larva of the C. albocosta was found in early December, located in a branch of the Banksia serrata, but this common species is abundant at other seasons and exists upon plants unconnected with the Banksias. The pervading colour is that of a light French grey [light greyish-blue] finely striated transversely with black lines; on each segment, except those containing the true feet, is a reddish band bearing light spots, each emitting a seta: the first segment squamose and shining reddish, the two succeeding ones partially covered with triangular reddish patches: head black, rough, setigerous. Caterpillar of the male measures about 1 ¼ inch, that of the female larger.</blockquote><blockquote>These caterpillars, while they dwell in a tubular cell excavated by themselves in the heart of the wood, yet subsist entirely upon the leaves of the plant in which they have fixed their abode, displaying considerable instinct in procuring their food from outward sources, and consuming it under shelter, within their solid habitations, in comparative comfort. In addition to these provident measures, they endeavour to protect the orifice left for their transit, by constructing, in front, a coarse spun web, secured at the upper edge to the tree, but leaving the lower one free: to this web is attached the debris of their food, presenting a similitude to the fabric used by Charagia for a similar purpose, with this difference, however, that in the latter it is composed of much finer particles, more compact, and with the margins adherent to the bark, whereas, in the present instance, it hangs in front more in the manner of a screen.</blockquote><blockquote>Of its further habits, Lewin, who was the first to describe the economy of this group in 1805, says “Our specimen (the C. Albacosta) had formed a deep cylindrical cell in a large stem of the Banksia serrata at the setting off of a branch, where it had bored in to the main wood; sallying out only by night and bringing to its dwelling whole leaves of the broad foliage of this tree, with dexterity and great labour, exhibiting many marks of sagacity in its progress, and when it arrived at the entrance of its retreat, it raised up the covering with its hinder parts, and slipped down its cell backwards, dragging the leaf after it, the extreme end of the stalk of which it held artfully in its jaws, and did not quit it till it was safely and almost wholly within its cell, where it fastened it down, together with the covering of the entrance by a web. On leaves thus provided the larva feeds at leisure and in security.” To this description we may add that we have frequently seen the larva seeking for, and obtaining its food during the day time as well as at night.</blockquote><blockquote>The caterpillar, changed to the pupa state within the first week in January, securing the front of the entrance by a silken tissue, leaving, however, a minute circular hole in its centre; when uncared for, the outer coarse covering drops off, and leaves the aperture so far unobstructed.</blockquote><blockquote>The Chrysalis (fig. 1, male) is from 1 to 1 ¼ inch in length, elongated in form, and reddish brown: the wing cases long, the head armed with short black spines, the abdominal annuli serrated, which enable the chrysalis to move with celerity within its dormitory.</blockquote><blockquote>The perfect insect took wing in February - the male, figured in the plate, is in expanse of wings 1 ¼ inch, the female exceeding 2 inches.</blockquote><blockquote>The <i>Antennae </i>... (fig. 2, male) bipectinated, the pectinations ciliated. Female setaceous.</blockquote><blockquote>The <i>Labial palpi </i>... (fig 3) recurved to about the top of the head, basal joint short, 2<sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">nd</span></sup> about 4 times the length and robust, terminal thin and pointed.</blockquote><blockquote>The <i>Legs </i>... anterior pair (fig 4) small, 2<sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">nd</span></sup> pair larger, with 2 apical spurs on tibiae; posterior pairs (fig. 5) very long, with 4 spurs; all the tibiae hairy.</blockquote><blockquote>Wings, deflexed at rest.
