07. Agathia disconnecta sp. nov. 



Fwewings : apule-green ; base dark brown on costal half; co^ta oclivoo\is. with 

 grey speckles ; first line before middle, formed by throe disconnectod brown s|iots, 

 one below costal streak, one on inner margin in middle, the third on median 

 vein, angled outwards ; second line at three-fourths of eosta, formed by two pairs 

 of brown spots lying in an oblique line on veins 7 and 6, and 4 and 3 ; and two 

 smaller spots lying on veins 2 and 1, near to hindmargin ; brown marginal spots 

 at end of veins, that at the apex being 'square and prominent, that at the angle 

 on vein 4 conspicuous; fringe yellowish white, with a brown spot at vein 4, and 

 discoloured at anal angle. 



Hiiuhi'ings: with the outer line as in forewings, onl}- that each pair of spots 

 is coalescent and forms a blotch with its inner edge straight; the last spot, on 

 the internal vein, is much nearer base of wing ; marginal tooth wholly tilled 

 up with dark chocolate-brown, with a pale whitish band across the base ; marginal 

 spots at veins 6 and 7 conspicuous; fringe yellowish white, brown round the 

 tooth and at vein 6. 



Underside pale green, with the markings vinous and tending to become 

 connected into fasciae. Face and palpi pale ochreous below, brown above : vertex, 

 thorax, and abdomen green ; the latter with patches of greyish red with darker 

 red centres on each segment. 



Expanse of wings : 36 mm. 



Two jJ(J, three ? ?, from (ieraldton, near Cairns, North (Queensland (A. S. 

 Meek), and a pair marked North (Queensland only. The red-brown markings become 

 in the ? more ferruginous, as in all the allied species ; in both sexes the sjKjts are 

 more or less edged with yellow; in some examples, especialh' in the ? ?, the spots 

 of the central fascia tend to become united above. 



08. Agathia rubrilineata sj). nov. 



Foreioings: green, with an olive tinge; base narrowly rrd-brown on lower 

 two-thirds; costa grey, with darker .specks, edged beneath by a tine red line, 

 the grey streak starting fine at base and broadening to the central fascia ; this 

 runs nearly straight from the costal edge at one-third to the inner margin at 

 two-thirds, whitish with irregular red edges, which are slightly broadened and 

 uneven at the veins; marginal one-fourth reddish grey, edged inwardlv by a 

 broad, slightly irregular, inwardly white-edged, red-brown line, which forms two 

 small teeth outwardly on veins 4 and .5 ; in this area is a subapical subquadrate 

 green patch, the inner edge rounded, the outer straight and parallel to hindmargin. 

 which it nearly touches, and having above and below it a round whitish spot 

 adjacent ; area above anal angle yellowish ; marginal line thick, brown ; fringe 

 ochreous, with a darker central line. 



llindmnfjs: green, the inner margin narrowly red; marginal area as in 

 forewings, containing an irregularly oval green patch from veins 4 to 7 ; the 

 red-brown line that edges it having an additional tooth on vein 3 ; a red-l)rown 

 semicircular .spot on lower part of the marginal tooth edged with ochreous; fringe 

 as in forewings, but reddish brown at the tooth. 



I'nderside pale green, washed towards ba.se with didl rufous; marginal fasciae dull 

 red-brown : middle fascia of forewing brighter red. Palpi and face below ochreous ;
