front ; but the hindiuargins of both wings are simply curved, not even crenulate, 

 while those of Ili/jtoyrapJm are strongly <li'ntate ; the coloration and markings are 

 dissimilar, and I cannot detect any ciliation of the eyes. 



Leucesthes gen. nov. 



ForewinqH : narrow; costa straight; apex prominent; hindmargin obliiinoly 

 curved ; aual angle rounded off. 



IliiuhriiKis : narrow ; both angles and the hindmargin ronnded. 



Antennae in ? filiform ; palpi porrect, unite short ; tongue {)resent ; frenulum 

 ( ? ) ajiparently absent ; hind-tibiae with four spurs close together. 



JS'eiiration : forewings, cell more than half as long as wing ; discocellnlar witli 

 npper third vertical, lower two-thirds obliciue ; first median nervule at four-fifths, 

 second shortly before end; lower radial from n})per two-thirds of discocellnlar; 

 upper stalked with 7,8,9,10; 11 anastomosing with VZ, lU with 11 and again 

 with 8, 9 : hindwings, costal closely approximated to subcostal for half of cell ; 

 0, 7 long stalked : radial from the upper two-thirds of discocellnlar ; medians as in 

 forewing. 



Type : Leucesthes margarita sp. nov. 



I cannot find a genus for this species. It differs from Gi/paochroa in having 

 four spurs instead of two on the hind-tibiae, and in the more complex anastomosing 

 of the veins of the forewing, as well as in the position of the lower radial ; nor, as 

 far as I can see, is there any bar between costal and subcostal of liindwings.

Wings and body all satiny white, except tlie forelegs, which are externally 

 ochreous.

Two ? ? from Roebourne, West Australia. 



23. Monoctenia subcarnea sj). nov. 



Foirwinqs : pale flesh-colour, unspeckled ; costa finely white: lines marked

 conspicuous ; the first, curved, at one-third, the second from before a])ex to two- 

 thirds of inner margin straight ; fringe concolorous or slightly darker, with purplish 

 spots beyond the veins ; no cell-spot. 



IliiichriiujfS : flesh-coloured, with the costal region broadly whitish ; a very 

 obscure row of postmedian dots ; fringe ])nrplish from vein 2 to 4, beyond whitish. 



Underside pale ochreons, with slight flesh-coloured tint, and finely speckled 

 with grey except along inner margins ; subinarginal row of pnrjde spots distinct on 

 both wings ; fringe as above, bnt jireceded below costa of forewings by two shallow
