more fiery-redflish : cilia ochreous-greyish, with a rather thick 

 fuscous median line. Hind wings pale ochreous, somewhat shining, 

 becoming pale greenish-bronze along costa ; a moderate light 

 fuscous hindmaro;inal shade attenuated and almost obliterated at 

 anal angle; cilia greyish. 



Mackay, Queensland; one specimen in December. 



TORTRICID^a:. 

 ACROPOLITIS (1) HELIOCHARES, n.sp. 



(J. 20 mm. Head, palpi, thorax, abdomen and legs dark fus- 

 cous, face yellowish, patagia yellow. Antennal ciliations very 

 short. Posterior legs grey-whitish. Forewings elongate, moderate, 

 costa gently arched, apex hardly pointed, hindmargin oblique, 

 slightly sinuate beneath apex; 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to hindmargin; 

 bright yellow; a narrow fuscous streak along costa from base to 

 4, attenuated at extremities ; a broad dark fuscous band, its 

 anterior edge curved, well defined from extremity of costal streak 

 to inner margin beyond middle, posterior edge sufiFused, inwards 

 curved, from beyond 4 of costa to hindmargin above anal angle; 

 hindmarginal area of wing mixed with dull ochreous and fuscous, 

 becoming darker along hindmargin : cilia greyish-fuscous, becom- 

 ing ochi'eous on costa and at anal angle, with a suifused fuscous 

 tooth below apex. Hindwings with veins 3 and 4 widely separate, 

 6 and 7 stalked; dark fuscous becoming almost clear whitish on 

 basal half and with a black mark at anal angle; cilia grey- whitish 

 with a fuscous basal line. 



Victoria; one specimen in November. 



A curious and beautiful species doubtfully referable to this 

 genus. There is a curious swollen ridge-like organ on the hind- 

 winofs, from about i and continued along the stem of veins 6 and 7 

 and apparently ending just below 6. The palpi and costal fold 

 are different from any other described Acropolitis with which I 

 am acquainted.
