Subfamily ENNOMINAE. 

 Anisographe gen. no v. 



Forewings : with costa uearl}- straight ; apex prodacecl, acate, falcate ; hind- 

 margin hlnntly angled at vein 4, incised below apex, ven' ol)lii|ne below middle. 



Uiitihriiig.i : kite-shaped, the hiiidmargin subcrennlate and toothed at vein 4. 



Antennae of 6 with short thick ciliated pectinations for five-sixths. Palpi 

 stont, ii])cnrved, the terminal joint short; tongue and frennliim present; hindtibiae 

 liardly thickened, with four spnrs. 



J!^curation : forewings, cell half as long as wing ; first median at five-sixtlis, 

 .second close before end of ceil ; radials normal; 7, S, '.), stalked from jnst before end 

 of cell ; ]i» and 11 coincident, anastomosing with the costal, 10 again anastomosing 

 at a point with 8 and 9; the areole very long and narrow, llindwings witii costal 

 approximated to subcostal for half cell. 



Type : Anisographe dissirnilis sp. nov. 



1*52. Anisographe dissirnilis sp. nov. (PI. V. fig. 1, ^; 2, j). 



? . Forewings : yellowish ochreons, with scattered transverse fuscous atoms 

 and striae ; the lines greyish fuscous; the first at one-third, vertical, shortly angled 

 on the subcostal ; no other lines distinct ; at middle of costa a curved grey line, and 

 shortly beyond it an outwardly oblique grey lino ; outer half of wing occupied by a 

 broad greyish fuscous fascia, with ditfnsely sinuons edges, leaving the hindmargin of 

 the pale ground-colour, and containing a sinuons snbmarginal line marked only by 

 black vein-dots, the marginal space before apex and below middle angle paler than 

 the space between; two black submarginal dots lietween veins 2 and 4; fringe 

 concolorous ; a black cell-sjiot and irregular fuscous blotch below it to the inner 

 margin. 



llindwings : with sinuous antemedian and postmedian fuscous grey lines ; a 

 black cell-spot just beyond the former ; marginal third fuscous giey, except a patch 

 below the middle. 



Underside the same, but the ground-colour j)ale straw-colonr. Head, thorax, 

 and abdomen concolorous with wings ; the palpi darker. 



6 dull reddish brown, dusted with blackish scales; the transverse lines as in 

 the ?, but obscnre ; a broad obliijue olive-brown line from apex to inner margin at 

 one-third, edged externally with a jiale lilac line ; no trace of the broad greyish 

 fuscons fascia of the ? . Hiudwings with a straight black basal line, being the con- 

 tinuation of the oblique line of forewings; the other lines as in ? ; a submarginal 

 denticulated line ; fringe of botli wings red-brown. Underside ]iale pinkish 

 ochreons, coarsely speckled with black, and the lines irregularly marked willi 

 blackish; apex of forewings pale; head, thorax, and abdomen pale pinkish ociireons; 

 antennae in both sexes concolorous with ground-colour and speckled with black. 



Expanse of wings : 45 mm. 



One S, one ?, from Mackay, Queensland ; one 6 from Cedar Hay, south of 

 Cook town. 



In this last example the gronnd-colonr is nearly that of the ? , but snll'nsed 

 with i)ale tawny ; the obliijue line is double, and preceded below the median by pale 

 blotclies; the submarginal s])ots are continued to the apex, and the base of abdnnicn 

 is marked with a brown-black line.
