576 REVISION OF AUSTRALIAN LEPIDOPTERA, V., 



rough-scaled; termiual joint minute in both sexes. Anteunse 

 bipectinate in both sexes, apices simple. Thorax and abdomen 

 not crested, Thorax slightly hairy beneath. Posterior tibia; 

 without middle spurs in both sexes. Hindwing with a strong 

 rounded costal expansion at base; frenulum and retinaculum 

 obsolete in both sexes. Forewings with vein 6 out of 7 (this is 

 probably not a constant character), 11 usually anastomosing with 

 12, but sometimes separate. Hind wings with 3 and 4 usually 

 stalked, sometimes connate, 6 and 7 stalked, 8 anastomosing 

 shortly with cell near base, then rapidly diverging; discocellulars 

 angled on vein 5, dorsal strongly oblique; costal edge of cell 

 considerably over |. 



Type, Geometra latiliaeata Wlk. I do not know whether there 

 are any other species. This and the preceding genus differ from 

 Cy^natoplex in the pectination of the 9 antennae, a character which 

 is found also in the unrelated genera Uliocneinis and Di/sphania. 



15. Gynandria latilineata. 



Geometra latilineata Wlk., Cat. Brit. Mus. xxxv. p. 1605; 

 Euc7-ostis latilineata Meyr., Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, 1887, 

 p.868. 



A pretty and abundant species, of a bright bluish-green colour 

 when fresh but rapidly fading. The antennal pectinations are 

 rather short(^ 2, $ 1). Northern specimens are smaller, with 

 broader lines; in southern specimens the lines are finer, and the 

 anterior line of forewings may be al)sent.
