Melbourne, Victoria ; one specimen (Coll. Lucas). Guenee's 

 description is said to be from a ^ ; his figure is good, but descrip- 

 tion not very clear. The description given above is incomplete, 

 owing to the single specimen seen being in imperfect condition. 



69. lod. exoterica, n. sp. 



9. 29 mm. Head ferruginous, lower margin of face, fillet, 

 and back of crown white. Palpi ferruginous, base whitish, 

 terminal joint moderately long. Antenna white, ringed with 

 fuscous. Thorax green, patagia ochreous, tips white. (Abdomen 

 broken.) Legs ochreous, ringed with white. Fore wings with 

 costa moderately arched, hindmargin obliquely rounded ; veins 3 

 and 4 from a point, 6 out of 9, 10 touching 12 at a point, 11 

 running into 12 ; bright green, with semitransparent whitish 

 longitudinal streaks in cell and between veins ; a bright ochreous 

 costal streak ; first line represented by a short white erect streak 

 on inner margin at 5, edged with dark reddish-brown ; a transverse 

 dark reddish-brown white-centred discal spot, preceded by a short 

 longitudinal dark reddish-brown streak ; second line almost 

 straight, from costal streak at f to inner margin at \, dark 

 reddish-brown, containing a very fine white line ; a moderate 

 dark reddish-brown hindmarginal fascia, attenuated to a point 

 at apex, containing a paler submarginal cloudy line, and darker 

 hindmarginal lunules : cilia fuscous-reddish, base whitish. Hind- 

 wings with hindmargin unevenly rounded, bent on vein 4 ; 3 and 

 4 stalked ; colour, discal spot and streak, and cilia as in fore- 

 wings ; second line and hindmarginal fascia similar, but merged 

 together so as to form a moderately broad hindmarginal band 

 containing a white line near its anterior edge. 



Newcastle, New South Wales : one specimen (Australian 

 Museum). This species may not be a true lodis ; it is the only 

 species of the genus known to me in which vein 1 1 of the fore- 

 wings runs into 12, and the facies is also peculiar, but in the 

 absence of the ^ it is of course impossible to decide with cer- 

 tainty.
