'94 NEW AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, 



short, h of second. Antennae ochx'eous. Abdomen fuscous. 

 Legs fuscous-whitish, anterior coxse white. Forewings rather 

 short, somewhat dilated posteriorly, costa gently arched, apex 

 round-pointed, hindmargin hardly oblique; olive-greenish, strigu- 

 lated with darker greenish and fuscous; costal edge irregularly 

 whitish throughout : costa obliquely strigulated with blackish; a 

 broad ill-defined, oblique, blackish fascia from beyond middle of 

 costa to inner margin before anal angle, outer edge more pro- 

 nounced and with a longitudinal black streak in middle, fascia 

 obsolete in some specimens; a rhomboid blackish spot on costa at 

 apex, preceded by two fine short oblique lines of white, and edged 

 beneath by a similar line; a small blackish quadrate spot on hind- 

 margin above middle, edged above and below by a short line of 

 whitish; a dark fuscous hindmarginal line, not reaching anal 

 angle : cilia fuscous, with a whitish tooth at apex, and an obscure 

 median line. Hindwings blackish, basal half much lighter; cilia 

 ■ dark fuscous, with a greyish basal line. 



I hardly feel satisfied in placing this species in this genus, as 

 it presents somewhat different characters from that of Dipterina; 

 for instance, the palpi are longer and somewhat more porrected, 

 and the neuration of the forewings is noticeable on account of the 

 close approximation of veins^ 3, 4 and 5, leaving 6 widely remote; 

 vein 3, which is from angle of cell, is so curved as to approximate 

 to 4 closely at base and on hindmargin. 



Brisbane, Queensland; two specimens in December.

 costa nearly sti'aight, apex rounded, hindmai'gin obliquely
