01. Xenocentris fasciata sp. uov. 



Forewings : pale ocliroons, with n bniwnisli gi'cy centra,! fascia ; the inner edge, 

 sliglitly waved and vertical, at <ine-tliiril, the nnter incurved t)eyoiul cell and on .sidi- 

 median fold, protuberant between, a little beyond two-thirds ; submarginal line 

 preceded and followed by dentate-edged darker ochreons fasciae; fringe concolorons, 

 with very faint darker dots beyond base ; a dark cell-spot in the central fascia. 



IIii«hciHijx : similar, but the brownish tint of the fascia extending to the base. 



Underside ochreons, with the markings indicated : hindwings towards inner 

 margin clothed with thick ochreons liairs like the middle and hindlegs. Face and 

 l)alpi brown ; vertex, thorax, and abdomen ochreons, the last somewhat marked with 

 brownish. 



Exjianse of wings : 17 mm. 



One c? from Rockhampton, Queensland, dated May 29th, 1889, nnnamed in the 

 Barnard Collection. 



Subfamily ASTHENINAE. 

 62. Pomasia vemacularia Gnen. 

 Gnen^e's original description was made from a ? . Ac? from Penang, which 

 seems referable to this species, presents certain irregolarities in the nenration of the 

 forewings. The first and second median nervules are cnrved downwards at their 

 origin; the median vein itself, at the origin of the second median, is bent upwards, 

 and the tliird median nervule rises considerably above the level of the second; the 

 space between first and second, and second and third, is slightly pnckereil, semitrans- 

 parent, and whitish. In the hindwings tlie median is similarly bent upwards at 

 extremity, but all the median nervules are straight, ami there is no semitransparent 

 space between their origins. 



Subfamily TEPHROCLYSTIIXAE. 

 63. Chloroclystis seminotata sp. nov. 



Fori'/n'/if/s: delicate pale green ; a black costal mark at base; basal patch limited

 one-third, fine, fuscous, slightly angled outwards in cell and on submedian fold, and 

 thickened at inner margin, followed on costa by a blackish patch ; second line at 

 three-fifths, blackish, dentate and interrupted ; submarginal line whitish green, 

 uniformly lunnlate, followed by a dark fuscous and rufous shade, all interrnjjted by 

 the green ground-colour between veins L' and 4, and indistinct at anal angle; a fine 

 black marginal line; fringe i)ale green, mottled with rufous fuscous; the pale bands 

 limiting the central fascia, and likewise the fascia itself, with traces of waved darker 

 lines, only visible towards costa. 



Jlim/winf/s : dull grey-green, the basal third, a postmedian and marginal fascia 

 indistinctly darker.
